This evocative program shines a light on the harrowing journeys made by countless souls along the Underground Railroad, as told through Paul Moravec’s Sanctuary Road. Drawing from the poignant accounts recorded by abolitionist William Still, this oratorio stands as a profound homage to the indomitable spirit and bravery of those who sought freedom from slavery. Complementing this narrative, Margaret Bonds’ Montgomery Variations pays homage to Martin Luther King Jr. and the pivotal civil rights movement, weaving a musical tapestry that speaks to the heart of the struggle for justice and equality.

At the helm of this stirring evening is Malcolm Merriweather, a proud Grand Island native whose illustrious career includes leading the New York Philharmonic Chorus. Merriweather brings not only his exceptional musicianship, but also a deep personal connection to Western New York, to this performance. Alongside a distinguished ensemble of soloists, this concert promises to be a powerful testament to the enduring quests for freedom and human dignity, inviting reflection on our collective history and the ongoing journey towards a more equitable world.
