Hailstork and Martin’s requiem is a grand, troubling, rich, and worthy work for an America still struggling to rise from its sometimes sordid history and violent predilections toward its lofty goals and promise.
In "A Knee on the Neck," composer Adolphus Hailstork and librettist Herbert Martin pay tribute to Floyd's memory and offer hope for the future – while wrestling with the realities of the present day.
The performance will examine the impact of 400 years of racial violence against Black Americans in a special concert on May 7th, 2022 at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.
The National Philharmonic and Washington Chorus collaborate on the world premiere of “A Knee on the Neck” at Strathmore on Saturday and Capital One Hall next Monday.
