Founders Day included the premiere of a musical composition by Jackson Janney '24, “When David Heard,” performed by the Union College Choir, conducted by Jin Byun, director of music performance. The haunting, somber piece portrays the scene of King David of Israel when he learns about the death of his beloved son, Absalom. The text is taken from the book of Lamentations from the Old Testament. A music major from outside Washington, D.C., Janney leaned into the intersection of literature and music, his main artistic direction, in composing the piece.
The event also featured musical performances by the Union College Orchestra, Union College Jazz Ensemble led by Tim Olsen, professor of music, and the Union College Music Department.
