Presented By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance
58th University of Michigan Organ Conference: Hymn Festival
“Sing Justice! Proclaim Justice! Hymnody in Word and Song by Women Poets and Composers”
Featuring guest artists Dr. Scott Hyslop & Rev. Kendra Mohn
Events of recent history have clearly demonstrated to us how little we have progressed in the areas of social justice - justice for women, justice For sexual orientation, justice for race and creed are to name but a few of these areas which seem to populate newspaper headlines, television news feeds and social media. The church triumphant cannot remain mute in the face of these societal ills and issues, but must stand strong and with a clear voice proclaim justice for all - justice for all creation. This hymn festival will present a variety of hymns which address these issues with texts written by women poets and authors as well as settings by women composers. It will be our hope to present the best of what these voices have to offer for the edification of all who hear their words and music.
