The performance features the world premiere of the mixed choir version of Tesfa Wondemagegnehu’s four-movement work, To Repair. The piece grapples with the state of racial injustice in America, particularly as it pertains to its disproportionate impact on generations of Black Americans. The four movements explore what it means to repair by first acknowledging a country’s flawed past in order to make space for grace, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

The performance will also feature R. Nathaniel Dett’s Don’t Be Weary Traveler and new compositions written by Harvard students Devon Gates ’23, Chinyere Obasi ’24, and Eddie Raj ’24, will additionally explore themes of healing and repair. These pieces—created through the Harvard Choruses New Music Initiative— will be performed by Ensemble Veritas, a 16-singer professional choir.

All proceeds of this concert will be donated to a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of Black artistry.
