“The Listening” is a choral piece inspired by a 1967 MLK speech (“Beyond Vietnam: A Time To Break Silence”) and features MLK’s goddaughter, Donzaleigh Abernathy. The piece is a call to act, to listen, and to speak for the unheard voices. The song will be featured on People.com, in Harper’s Bazar, and several radio stations and media outlets who have interviewed Donzaleigh about it. We are doing a strong promotional push during Black History Month. More info at www.cbemusic.co/thelistening.
