After the death of George Floyd and the beginning of the Black Lives Matter movement, a number of singing leaders started looking at how they could respond to these events through music and the choirs that they lead.
Historically, black musicians haven’t been appropriately remunerated or credited for their work. The aim of the Black Lives Matter Commissioning Project is to highlight this issue. Four black American and four black British composers were commissioned to write material for choirs around the globe.
Halesworth Harmony was one of over 50 choirs that contributed financially to this commission. Our concert this summer has four of those songs at its heart.
