About Ubuntu
Ubuntu is an African philosophy best captured in the statement: I am because we are. It asserts that my humanity is caught up, inextricably wound up, in yours. We believe a person is a person through other persons. It is not "I think, therefore, I am.” Rather, it says: I am human because I belong, I participate, and I share. We celebrate the image of God in all people and strive to reflect our Creator in the pursuit of community and excellence.
A person who embraces this philosophy is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for she or he has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that she or he belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are oppressed or treated as if they were less than who they are.
Ubuntu of Burman University adopts this philosophy as a way of life that affirms and celebrates the contribution of all those on whose shoulders we stand. The people we are is because of other people, and this is why we tell their stories through song. We particularly enjoy teaching this way of life and telling stories through Negro Spirituals, Gospel, African American church music, and showcasing the contributions of Black composers to the tapestry that is choral music. Romando Carey, Ubuntu's Musical Director, is supported by Nicole Bartolay (accompanist) and a team of student conductors and accompanists.
