Remember Us:  Choir, Orchestra and American Studies Commissioned Project

Throughout the '19-20 school year, over 180 students in Vernon Hills High School Choir, Orchestra, and American Studies (combined English & History) classes researched disenfranchised voices in American history while learning & performing "Remember US" a 10 movement work by composer Lee Kesselman, featuring the poetry and words of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Louise Erdrich, Yosimar Reyes, James Weldon Johnson, Sherman Alexie, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Abigail Adams. This video explains the thinking behind the scenes, interviews with the staff & composers, and teaching outcomes.
