Experience the New York premiere of a powerful and groundbreaking merging of music, visual art, dance, movement, and spoken word, anchored by the visionary music of Carnegie Hall’s 2024–2025 Debs Composer’s Chair Gabriela Ortiz, co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall. Inspired by James Drake’s epic drawing of the same title, Can We Know the Sound of Forgiveness features The Crossing—“America’s most astonishing choir”—led by Donald Nally; text by bestselling author Benjamin Alire Sáenz; performances by multidisciplinary artist Shaun Leonardo and flutist Alejandro Escuer; and collaborators who include local military veterans with choreographer Harrison Guy, curator Leila Hamidi, and director of photography Adam Holender. Through a journey from violence and conflict to healing and forgiveness, this unique production, directed by Steve Jiménez, seeks to encourage hope in divisive times.
