Case/University Circle Symphony Orchestra and Case Concert Choir with Choral Arts Cleveland

Program

Humanity 

This powerful concert explores the resilience, unity, and shared experiences that bind us together. Featuring works by contemporary composers, the program highlights a wide spectrum of musical voices—from Valerie Coleman’s Umoja (Anthem of Unity) and Corey Rubin’s River on Fire to Rich Campbell’s Walls Must Fall, Sleeping At Last’s evocative North, and Dan Forrest’s profound Requiem for the Living. Together, these pieces reflect on hope, struggle, connection, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
