Hear Us, Hear Them is a Black-led Cincinnati-based ensemble dedicated to performing, engaging with, and inspiring all identities of artistry in order to enrich and progress the choral community.
Hear Us, Hear Them Ensemble performs and rehearses on the stolen territories of the Indigenous Algonquian speaking tribes, including the Delaware, Miami, and Shawnee tribes who have continuously lived upon this land since time immemorial. We honor and recognize their historical and continued contributes to the land on which we reside. Visit the Ohio Native Land Initiative to learn how you can support Indigenous peoples and protect their sacred sites in the Greater Cincinnati Area.
Our Beyond the Score series dives into deep conversations with composers and poets of the works we perform. Learn more about the inspiration behind their work and what they hope our audience will gain!
