About the event
Written in 2012, The Cry of Jeremiah marks the first extended work from the pen of American composer Rosephanye Powell. Taken from passages in the Old Testament book of Jeremiah, the four movements follow the prophet’s feelings of abandonment and redemption by God. Powell’s music combines this ancient text with music that draws simultaneously from both the African-American musical heritage as well as the classical music tradition.
Our gratitude to Sam and Debbie Seraphim for their generous support of this Cantata Sunday service.
