What is it about?
"LISTEN: 2018" is one of two movements written for the women of Resonance Ensemble, a professional choir based in Portland, Oregon, and conducted by Katherine FitzGibbon. The text is drawn from testimony given by Christine Blasey Ford in 2018; the other movement sets text from the testimony of Anita Hill from 1991. "LISTEN: 2018" confronts singers and listeners with these women's challenging and powerful words.
