The Boston Camerata stands in solidarity with all victims of oppression and injustice, and most particularly with our fellow-American sisters and brothers of color
We draw inspiration, in these days of crisis for our country, from the prophecy of Daniel, speaking for his oppressed people, as he fearlessly faces a corrupt and evil ruler.
This eloquent, deeply-felt performance by Jordan Weatherston Pitts resonates so strongly within us. May it point us towards hope, and give us increased strength to work together for a just society.

The Prophet Daniel, confronting the Evil Ruler, interprets the Handwriting on the Wall:
Your father was cast down and you too, his son, are not yourself any less wicked.
MANE: Your reign is finished.
TECHEL: You have been weighed and found wanting.
PHARES: Your kingdom shall be given over to another.
