Still I Rise
“Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.”
—Maya Angelou
This concert features themes of remembrance and resiliency with works such as “Of Our New Day Begun” by Omar Thomas—honoring the victims of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church shooting—and “Rise” by Adam Schoenberg.
From orchestras, bands and choirs to jazz, world music and opera to world-class faculty and guest performances, the CU Boulder College of Music brings hundreds of stunning performances to Boulder audiences throughout the academic year.
