This highly anticipated Requiem Cantata in memory of George Floyd, “A Knee on The Neck” by Adolphus Hailstork, was created in response to the tragedy of Mr. Floyd’s death through the text of historian and Professor Emeritus of The University of Dayton Ohio, Herbert Martin. Scored for an orchestra, large chorus, and three soloists, “A Knee on The Neck” speaks to the challenges which Black Americans have endured and engages the audience to share that journey in powerful ways.
