Forgiveness

Albany Symphony, David Alan Miller, Marc Bamuthi Joseph

Release Date: August 29th, 2025

Forgiveness is a powerful new orchestral work by composer Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) and librettist Marc Bamuthi Joseph, performed by the Albany Symphony under David Alan Miller. Framed as a four-part meditation: Redemption, Reconciliation, Discernment, and Grace, the piece explores forgiveness as both a personal and political act. Roumain’s score blends symphonic sweep with moments of intimacy and silence, offering space for Joseph’s searing spoken-word reflections on race, justice, and democracy. Together, they ask: Can our country survive without forgiveness?
