Composed by Robert Seeley, with lyrics from the writings of Robert Espindola (1952-2016) and scored for men’s chorus, string quartet, piano and oboe, the work delivers a passionate perspective of the achievements of the LGBT movement and projects the MOMENTum of the dreams and aspirations of the future, inspired by the movement’s history. Inspired by the treasure trove of the writings, poems and lyrics left behind by Espindola, the rapturous music will lift every heart and spur the continuation of one of the most dramatic and important movements in history. ​This premiere work will be presented along with other important and inspiring compositions like Groundless Ground, I Can Fly, and Never Ever. ​Be the first to experience this world premiere!
