Black Voices Matter: The Fall 2020 Concert of the UMass Boston Chamber Singers and University Chorus
Channel: UMass Boston
Date: 15/12/2020

UMass Boston Performing Arts proudly presents, Black Voices Matter, a celebration of the resilience of Black Voices in choral music, a virtual performance by the UMass Boston Chamber Singers and University Chorus.

Directed by long-time UMass Boston Choral Director David Giessow, the program grew from conversations with the class about the Black Voices Matter Pledge, which advocates for anti-racisms initiatives, such as stringing  "for representation across each program and concert season without tokenizing.” Giessow signed the pledge as UMass Boston Choral Director. 

The program also includes a special student composition, a world-premiere performance of The Beacon Blue, a UMass Boston fight song, by Ed Riccio '19, and Ali Mezzi '21.
