Reverence & Resistance is a choral concert showcasing music that speaks to humanitarian questions of our time. Accord’s spring concert explores two spheres of devotion: spiritual beliefs and humanitarian ideals.
 

In the first half, music of praise from Andre Caplet, Ramona Luengen, Cedrick Howoseb, Fredrick Sixten and David Douglas captures the endurance of faith across centuries and continents. In the second half, three powerful pieces speak to living issues of our time: Shireen Abu-Khader’s Rumor Mill tells of displaced Palestinians longing for home; Marie-Claire Saindon’s Imaginary Garden features poetry by the Iranian political prisoner Mahvash Sabet; and River, by Joan Szymko, is an energetic piece about humanity, hope and the power of individuals to drive change. 

​

Audience members are invited to join us for a reception following the performance.
