Of the many performances of Take What You Need, very few of them have been in traditional concert halls. Most performances have taken place in jails, homeless shelters, support groups, schools, memorial services, places of worship - in places where people can gather to see and honor the humanity in one another. Take What You Need was written for Urban Voices Project, a choir made up of people who are experiencing or have recently experienced homelessness - so many of whom have trusted this piece with their own stories of loss and redemption, and who I am so honored to count among my dearest
friends. But this piece is also meant to be a resource for musicians and communities to come together and build the lasting relationships that plant seeds for social change. I am so honored to present this piece tonight in conjunction with the YSM’s incredible community partnership: the Music in Schools Initiative. I am honored to have the students of Morse Chorale joining us on stage tonight for this very
special performance.
