About The Performance
Matana Roberts is an American composer, saxophonist, and creative artist. Their work is visceral, brilliant, relevant, engaging, and challenging; it defies categorization and focuses on sonic experimentation through a multi-faceted, often socially and politically conscious lens. Experience the world premiere commission of a new iteration of I call america: Sandy Speaks – iteration II, a multimedia work for twelve improvising musicians written in reflection of Sandra Bland—her life and death.
