VHHS Remember US World Premiere Concert
March 18, 7:30 pm
Tickets are $2 students $3 Adults at the Door

Join the VHHS Choirs, Chamber Strings, and students from the American Studies course when they present the world-premiere of "Remember US" by Lee Kesselman. Featuring the poetry of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, James Weldon Johnson, Louise Erdich, Yosimar Reyes, Sherman Alexie, Abigail Adams and others, this 35 minute, 11 movement work was commissioned over a year ago. Mr. Kesselman has worked extensively with the choirs, Chamber Strings, and American Studies class throughout the year. The first half of the concert will feature student-created projects highlighting non-dominant voices in American History, bringing their stories to our audience, while the music will comprise the second half. In researching, presenting, and connecting with these voices (through projects and music), VHHS students have wrestled with difficult topics such as systemic privilege, oppression, racism, and inequality, while simultaneously discovering the joy, strength, faith, and hope in both themselves and those who have come before us.
 
Audience interaction with the student project begins at 7:30 p.m. in the lobby and the music portion begins at 8:15 p.m. in the auditorium.  Tickets are $2 students $3 Adults at the Door
