About The Performance
Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances pays homage to the wide range of Black American dance traditions while Nathalie Joachim’s newly-penned cello concerto written for Seth Parker Woods honors the transformation of African fashion. Driving rhythms of David Baker’s Kosbro are followed by William Grant Still’s Autochthonous Symphony, which portrays, in his words, “the fusion of musical cultures in North America.” Thomas Wilkins conducts.
