Generations

Ay sí,
it's my turn
to oh say
what I see,
I'm going to sing America!
***************
Then, besides
They'll see how beautiful I am...
I, too, am America

Excerpt from the poem "I, Too, Sing América" by Julia Alvarez. Copyright © 2002 by Julia Alvarez. First appeared in WRITERS ON AMERICA: 15 REFLECTIONS, published by the U.S. Department of State.


Inspired by the poetry of Langston Hughes and Julia Alvarez, we bring you a program showcasing the beauty and tradition of excellence inherent in classical music created and performed by Black and Latinx composers for many generations. Together, we seek to uplift spirits through sharing the sounds that inspire us and transcend the boundaries of time, history, and struggle. We thank you, our listeners, for embracing the many voices and sounds that elevate our collective humanity.

Program includes: 

Quenton Blache: Habari Gani*
Javier Farias: Abran Paso*
Andrea Casarrubios: Herencia*
Adolphus Hailstork: from Sonata da Chiesa
Dona Nobis Pacem
Exultate
*****
Xavier Foley: Concertante for Two Double Basses and String Orchestra, "Galaxy"
Coleridge Taylor Perkinson: Sinfonietta No. 2, “Generations”
