Freedom's Song ~ Ocean Grove Great Auditorium Recording ~ October 2, 2016

Composer David Kerr, who is also the founder of Integrity House residential substance abuse treatment program in Newark, New Jersey, was so inspired by my poem, Freedom's Song: Days of Sorrow, that he composed a choral orchestration for the poem and titled it, Freedom's Song. As if this were not amazing enough, Freedom's Song was then brought to glorious life by narrator Jacqueline Anabwani, and the Seton Hall University Chorus and MidAtlantic Opera Orchestra under the baton of famed conductor Jason Tramm at the Ocean Grove Great Auditorium on October 2, 2016. James Manno of JAMMAN Studios served as audio and video producer. Freedom's Song was inspired by tragic events in our nation following our July 4th celebration of freedom, when within a few days, African American men were murdered by police officers followed by police officers also being murdered. The goal of Freedom's Song is to honor those whose lives were taken away, and to inspire and strengthen our resolve to "never stop singing" and to keep fighting for freedom that belongs to "one and all." Freedom's Song will have its debut performance in May 2017 at a World Peace Concert in New Jersey. All this energy and love from a poem and the caring hearts of all the artists!
