Pairing works by Johannes Brahms and the distinguished American composer Adolphus Hailstork (setting a text by former US poet laureate Rita Dove), this powerful concert celebrates the meaning and purpose of our time on earth, and pays tribute to the memory of Heather Heyer in what would have been her 40th birthday year. Heyer’s mother Susan Bro will address the audience, and honored guest Rita Dove will recite her poem from the stage.  “The world called, and I answered.”  

The concert will be held at 8 pm on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at  Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage in Carnegie Hall. For more information or to purchase tickets, follow this link.
