"Paths to Dignity"
|
Closing their 2025–2026 Chamber Series at Christ the King Lutheran Church, DuoMente presented a special collaborative version of the final movement from Lucas Richman’s "Paths to Dignity."
"'Paths to Dignity' is a deeply moving work centered on the lived experiences of those experiencing homelessness," explained Dan Qiao, violinist with DuoMente. "By incorporating Richman's choral work, 'I Am,' with choir and audience voices joining together, the performance became not just a presentation, but a communal act of listening. |
'This is me, hear my story.
I deserve to be heard. This is me, don’t ignore me. Hear my every word.' These words reflect the heart of the project. "Too often, people experiencing homelessness remain unseen, unheard, or defined only by circumstance, rather than recognized for their humanity, individuality, and stories. "This performance was our invitation to pause, to listen, and to remember that dignity begins with human connection." |

Christ the King is pleased to welcome pianist Meng Yuan and violinist Dan Qiao of DuoMente as Artists in Residence. The pair are performing a series of chamber music concerts at the church as part of Christ the King’s Music with a Mission series. Performances are free, and freewill donations from each concert will benefit local, national and worldwide charities.
The concerts are intimate and informal. Yuan and Qiao want each concert to feel like a journey, not just a collection of music, to promote a feeling of care, comfort and connection. Concerts will include classical and contemporary chamber music, and feature composers from around the world and closer to home. A reception with the artists follows each concert.
