Join baritone Nathan De'Shon Myers, soprano Michelle Pérez, and the Dayspring Celebration Chorale and Instrumental Ensemble as we present the world premiere of "Requiem for the Innocent," composed and conducted by Dayspring Director of Music Ministries David Schildkret.Written in response to recent deaths resulting from immigration enforcement and other law-enforcement actions, the work reflects on grief, trauma, and our shared responsibility to seek justice. Through texts adapted from scripture, the work poses a simple but urgent question: “What must we do?”
"Requiem for the Innocent" invites us to listen, to remember, and to consider what might begin with us if we love kindness, justice, and humility. Nothing changes unless we change.
Admission to the concert is free. We welcome contributions for our food drive. You may donate grocery store cards or non-perishable food items. We especially welcome
