First Unitarian Choir will be performing the New England Premiere of Credo, a large-scale, multi-movement work for chorus, baritone soloist, and piano by the African American composer Margaret Bonds. Bonds was a 20th-century composer who grew up in Chicago and spent most of her life in New York City. She was a virtuoso keyboard player, the first Black pianist to solo with the Chicago Symphony. She wrote many art songs, anthems, and cantatas, as well as orchestral works and chamber music. Bonds sets the words of the writer, activist, and philosopher W. E. B. Du Bois, who lays out his vision of a world where pacifism, racial harmony, and the inherent worth and dignity of every human being, one of our core Unitarian Universalist principles, might become a reality.

Our performance of Credo will feature tenor soloist Christon Carney, who regularly performs with the chorus…
