White Snake Projects is set to present the U.S. premiere of Brent Michael Davids’ monumental orchestral work “Requiem for America: Singing for the Invisible People.”

This musical work brings an abrupt and necessary shift of perspective amid the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of America’s independence. Drawing deeply from his Native American heritage, Davids tackles the genocidal founding of America, challenging music norms and sanitized historical rhetoric to give voice to America’s invisible people: American Indians.

“Requiem for America” will premiere in America in a one-night only concert on Nov. 14, 2026, at NEC’s Jordan Hall in Boston.

The work be conducted by Tianhui Ng and will star Talise Trevigne, Ann Marie Stanley, Sara Couden, John Bellemer, and Leroy Davis.

In a statement Davids said, “Requiem for America tells the Indigenous perspective of the original founding events of our shared American history. It sings about the invisibility of Native people. I hope Requiem reminds audiences that Native people have vitality and that our voices can be clearly heard. Requiem is more than a piece of music – it’s a reckoning, a remembrance, and a call to truth through the arts.”
