In his critically acclaimed 17-minute diptych for baritone and orchestra (originally for baritone and piano), Shawn E. Okpebholo reflects on the heart-breaking bombing of the Birmingham 16th Street Baptist Church and shooting at the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston — decades apart — through the poetry of Dudley Randall and Marcus Amaker. The New York Times observed how “Two Black Churches honours the victims of racially motivated violence with its compassion.”
