Libertatum: Songs of Freedom

The Halalisa Singers present a joyous, powerful and timely celebration of freedom showcasing Kyle Pederson's inspirational choral suite "A Vision Unfolding." Centering on themes of justice, community, and inclusion with texts by poets Shanelle Gabriel, Walt Whitman, and a soaring setting of Langston Hughes' iconic "I Dream a World." the chorus is accompanied by piano, trumpet, violin, and percussion spanning contemporary, gospel and blues styles. Also featured are the exuberant spirituals “I’m Gonna Sing” and “On My Way,” the rousing rhythms and body percussion of “Libertatum,” the international folk song “Lao Rahal Soti,” the lush vocal harmonies and stirring message of “On Million Voices,” and the eloquent calls to action of “Lead With Love” and “Say Her Name.” Pianist Trevor Berens and percussionist Abe Finch accompany the singers. It's a musical journey that will move, excite, and inspire!
