Moravec & Campbell: Sanctuary Road

John V. Sinclair, conductor • Bach Festival Choir and Orchestra

Laquita Mitchell, soprano; Melody Wilson, mezzo soprano; Joshua Blue, tenor; Malcolm Merriweather, baritone; Dashon Burton, bass

Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Paul Moravec collaborated with Pulitzer Prize - and GRAMMY Award-winning - lyricist Mark Campbell to create Sanctuary Road, which was nominated for a GRAMMY as Best New Choral Work in 2021. This poignant oratorio draws on the compelling stories in William Still’s memoir, The Underground Railroad.

The Symphony No. 1 in e minor by Florence Price was completed in 1932 and first performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Price's first full-scale orchestral composition was the first symphony by an African American woman to be performed by a major American orchestra.
