To conclude its 62nd season, the Manchester Choral Society will present The Unarmed Child by Michael Bussewitz-Quarm. This gorgeous, deeply moving work was composed in response to gun violence against children. This work sensitively navigates this difficult subject with beautiful, poignant, healing words and music. Additionally, this piece will feature soloist Marco Gianozzi, a hip-hop artist.
The program will also include The Cry of Jeremiah, the first major work by African American composer Rosephanye Powell. With text from the Book of Jeremiah, the four movements follow the prophet’s feelings of abandonment and redemption by God. Powell combines the ancient words with music drawn simultaneously from African American musical heritage and classical music traditions.
