Okpebholo: lord, how come me here?
Composer Shawn Okpebholo turns the mirror of history on today's society with a reimagined collection of spirituals by enslaved Africans and American folk hymns that draw upon music from the past to critique contemporary racial injustices in the United States and around the globe. An ensemble of mezzo-soprano, baritone, piano, cello, and flute poignantly bring Okpebholo's music to life, from hopeful anthems celebrating community to laments between a mother and her Creator and hymns celebrating faith and hope over hate and fear.
