"The Creation" is the first poem in James Weldon Johnson's seminal work, God's Trombones. Pete Malinverni has composed and produced a 28-minute piece for Gospel Choir and Jazz Ensemble based on the text of the poem. Premiered at SUNY Purchase in February 2016, The Creation is a stunning work of art that combines 70 singers, 15 jazz musicians and 25 dancers into an experience not to be missed. The Foundation is currently raising funds to produce the piece for a national audience. "The Creation" features the Purchase Soul Voices, the Purchase Jazz Combo and the Purchase Dance Company, choreographed by Kevin Wynn.
