Worcester Chamber Music Society Concert: Voices Rising

 
 
 
Voices Rising
The voices of five Black American composers rise as they are recognized and represented on stage and claim their places as vital contributors to the American musical canon. They rise in protest, pain, grief, joy, heartbreak, and more as they tell stories of the Black experience in America through their music.
In collaboration with Worcester Black History Project's art show I’ve Known Rivers: Black Americans and Labor on display February 1-29 at the Worcester Center for Crafts.
