Sound Off: Music For Bail to Present 2022-2023 Season Finale Concerts in NYC & Philly
The concerts will feature string quartets by Tanyaradzwa Tawengwa, Sebastian Zel, Florence Price, and Akua Dixon.
In partnership with Groupmuse and in collaboration with Justice Committee and Abolitionist Law Center, Sound Off: Music for Bail presents its 2022-23 season finale concerts on July 8th and 9th, hosted by NYC's People's Forum and the Philadelphia Ethical Society respectively. These concerts close out Sound Off's third and most ambitious season yet, and continue to highlight leading contemporary and historical voices in Western classical music; the program includes Tanyaradzwa Tawengwa's Rurimi rwaAmai, Sebastian Zel's (report) (text by Yaz Lancaster), Florence Price's Five Folk Songs in Counterpoint, and Akua Dixon's Ladies' Blues, performed by violinists Justus Ross and Che Buford, violist Kyran Littlejohn, and cellist Emmanuel Losa.
Also on stage will be representatives from the Justice Committee (July 8th) and the Abolitionist Law Center (July 9th), discussing the unique needs of their communities and their organizations' struggles for justice in our current conditions. General admission tickets are $15, and proceeds from these concerts directly support musicians and speakers. Free tickets are available at request to remove financial barriers to attendance.
