Bayard Rustin Tribute: The Man Behind The Dream Tickets

Bayard Rustin Tribute: The Man Behind The Dream is a powerful contemporary choral/oratorio blending gospel, spirituals, blues, tango, and other vocal traditions. Conceived as a collaborative commission, the work features chorus, actors/story-guides, and a compact instrumental ensemble.

Commissioned by ThisOne Voice and LGBTQ+ choruses, with a libretto by Vanessa German and composition by Steve Milloy, the piece premiered in 2017–2018 and has since toured regional venues across Ohio and the Midwest.
