Indiana University Will Present 'An Evening of William Grant Still' Next Month
Performances are February 4-12.
Shattering color barriers in classical music with a string of firsts, William Grant Still became known as the "Dean of African American Composers."
First, a deathbed promise fuels an emotional explosion at a small-town gas station on the seemingly tranquil Highway 1 in this intimate opera about human thresholds.
Then, ballet meets home life in times of quarantine, capturing the surreal state of a global pandemic.
Created to music from Still's Afro-American Symphony, this finalized version of Jacobs' 2020 Fall Ballet includes the third section of Sasha Janes' work, as dancers are once again allowed freedom of movement.
Performances are February 4-12.
