Birdfoot Festival 2019
From the event description:
This concert examines the complex subjects of identity, experience, and truth. Inspired by African-American spirituals and songs, Dvorak’s Quartet is an outsider’s portrait of America’s energy and potential approaching the turn of the century. Juxtaposed with this, spirituals, arranged by New Orleans’ own Moses Hogan, and the musical voices of Dvorak’s assistant Harry T. Burleigh and Florence Price, reveal a complex counterpoint to Dvorak’s optimism.
When: Tuesday, May 29, 8 p.m.
Where: George & Joyce Wein Jazz and Heritage Center, 1225 North Rampart St.
Admission: $0-$75
