Seven Last Words at Loyola University

Mundelein Auditorium, Loyola University, 1020 W Sheridan Rd. , Chicago

A performance by Loyola Chamber Choir, University Chorale, and Women's Chorus. This program features Joel Thompson’s Seven Last Words of the Unarmed, a powerful multi-movement choral work about seven African-American men–Kenneth Chamberlain, Trayvon Martin, Amadou Diallo, Michael Brown, Oscar Grant, John Crawford, and Eric Garner–who were each killed by police or by authority figures in the last decade. The song’s seven movements represent the last words from seven lost lives. To see more information about the work and project, please visit its website. The choirs will be joined by the Kontras Quartet, who will be performing movements from Haydn’s Seven Last Words of Christ.
