Description:
Fulcrum Point New Music Project, Chicago’s leader in new art music led by Founder and Artistic Director Stephen Burns, presents its 2nd annual The Black Composer Speaks concert and discussion series Thursday-Friday, February 9-10, 2017. The Black Composer Speaks champions the unique and complex voices of African American composers, featuring music by three generations of artists whose works range from impressionistic to pop-inspired minimalism culminating in free jazz improv with Kahil El’Zabar’s Ethnic Heritage Ensemble. Bridging these diverse musical stylings is a World Premiere by the widely acclaimed Tomeka Reid (2016 3Arts Awardee). A roundtable discussion on inclusion and access in new art music precedes the February 10 concert.
On Friday, February 10 at The Promontory (5311 S Lake Park Ave., Chicago) a roundtable discussion will start at 5:45 p.m. followed by the performance at 7:30 p.m. Single tickets for The Promontory are priced at $25-$35 and are now available at http://bit.do/bcs-promontory.
