About

This choral performance, the first of four events in Meridian Herald's CONFLUENCE series exploring the environment, arts, and activism, offers poems by Georgia poet Sidney Lanier in musical settings by Georgia composer Steven Darsey. Featured will be the premiere of Darsey's orchestral-choral setting of Lanier's transcendent poem "The Marshes of Glynn." Darsey has spent decades studying Lanier's life and works and exploring the places Lanier invokes in his poetry. Georgia actress Brenda Bynum said of Darsey's "Marshes" setting: "This is a major work of American musical art, and it has grown right out of our native literary tradition and the unspeakable beauty of our Georgia coast."

The city of Atlanta has a rich arts history, and it also has a rich history of civil rights activism. Throughout the city, you can find wonderful street art, such as this mural, “We Shall Always March Ahead”, by @artofyungai. It is important to celebrate these civil rights legends, but it is also important to continue the fight for equality. Take some time to explore the rich history of the city and the beautiful street art that surrounds us. #RalphDavidAbernathy #HoseaWilliams #MartinLutherKingJr. #CorettaScottKing #JohnLewis #StreetArt #Mural #WeShallAlwaysMarchAhead #lovemyASO #AtlantaSymphonyOrchestra #Atlanta #weloveATL #AtlantaMusic #ExploreAtl #ExploreGeorgia #ClassicalMusic #singer #symphony #orchestra
