A Vision Unfolding 
by Kyle Pederson

A Community Choral Event, Ellie Hodder, Director

 

In 2021, Kyle Pederson was commissioned to write a larger work centered around themes of social justice. In effort to include more than just his voice, he reached out to Shanelle Gabriele, an African American poet, spoken word artist and singer/songwriter.

​

"We determined that, at the core, we hoped to re-articulate and explore what our country has stood for in its best moments. In our foundational texts and speeches, we find powerful declarations of a nation rooted in equality, freedom, justice, and inclusion. Shanelle and I wanted this whole work to be invitational to be reminded of the compelling vision that we live into in our best moments, and to be invited to say 'yes' to more of that." Kyle Pederson
