In 2022, the Rothko Chapel presents Songs for Justice, a series of concerts and conversations exploring the role that music plays to further social justice movements, addressing today’s inequities and injustices. The project includes five performances and related discussions, presented in collaboration with community grassroots organizations focused on social justice advocacy, including the world premiere of a new work of music inspired by these ideas written for performance in the Chapel.
This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts. Undewriting Support for the Rothko Chapel's 2021-2022 Program Season was provided by Catalina de la Garza, Cristy & Michael Jadick, C.C. Lee, Christina & Troy Porter, Elsa Ross, Robin & Andrew Schirrmeister, and Sarita Tennant.
