The actual perpetrator ultimately confessed. — Rickey Jackson, convicted of murder and robbery based on the coerced testimony of a child who, after Jackson was imprisoned for 39 years and sent to Death Row, played a key role in his release. Featuring an operatic score infused with jazz, gospel, funk, and hip-hop, and a libretto drawn substantially from the exonerees’ own words, this deeply human production asks “What makes a person strong enough to endure injustice?

An interdisciplinary performance and installation conceived by artist Diana Wege. It is a response to climate change, pollution, resource depletion, and nuclear capability. The piece immerses the audience in a near-future where the degradation and extinction of nature is symbolized by a choir of languages from throughout the globe and the apparition of a landscape painting catching fire and restored by the reversal of humanity’s destructive ways. Earth Requiem joins multiple disciplines to warn us of a clear and present danger. Mark Shapiro will conduct original music by Errollyn Wallen and Jeff Beal, performed by a choir accompanied by piano.

NYU piano faculty, students, and guests present Erik Satie's infamous Vexations in a daylong performance taking place in the Paulson Center's Northeast lobby. Written in 1893 and first performed in Greenwich Village in 1963, this historic work foreshadowed minimalism and installation art by nearly a century. Consisting of a single musical fragment performed 840 times, Vexations offers all listeners a unique real-time experience.

SO A CLARINETIST & COMEDIAN WALK INTO A BAR…. Classical clarinetist Anthony McGill, the 2020 Avery Fisher prize recipient and the first Black principal player of the New York Philharmonic, and writer/comedian (and fellow clarinetist!) Kimberly Clark (Tiffany Haddish Presents: They Ready – Season 2 on Netflix; The Late Late Show w/ James Corden) reminisce about growing up as Black band kids in a heartwarming new project honoring the power of music education. Through a heartwarming combination of photos, performance and conversation, Anthony and Kimberly connect over how being middle school band geeks continues to inform them as performers and people. They share their art and even come together to collaborate on a triumphant clarinet duet. They discuss their intersecting journeys as Black entertainers thriving in entertainment fields dominated by white men.

Born of a desire to foster cultural curiosity, Castle of our Skins is a concert and educational series dedicated to celebrating Black artistry through music. The Boston Musical Intelligencer praises the ensemble’s programmatic choices for complementing and reinforcing each other, and the “impressive performers” for communicating “directly and movingly with their audience.” Highlighting the ensemble’s PCMS debut program is the Philadelphia premiere of a new work (co-commissioned by PCMS) by flutist/ composer Allison Loggins-Hull.

Though separated by 130 years and an impossible gulf of personal experience, the composer Ludwig van Beethoven and the writer Langston Hughes share an unlikely bond of artistic sensibilities. Inspiration across mediums creatively energized both: Hughes was a musical historian and produced rhythmically inspired verse, while Beethoven's love of poetry gave rise to numerous immortal compositions, not least “Ode to Joy”. On the date of Hughes's birthday, Terrance McKnight, the project creator and WQXR host, further illuminates these geniuses' synergy with a selection of Beethoven's piano works, and other composers such as David Baker and George Gershwin, that he's set to poems by Hughes. This co-presentation with the New York Philharmonic will feature select members of the Phil and guest artists, piano soloist Kyle P. Walker and the rich operatic tenor voice of Chauncey Packer.

Stay On It Designed for the Weill Music Institute’s Music Educators’ Workshop, Stay On It is a session intended to empower music educators with resources and suggested guidelines for using repertoire as a vehicle to discuss race in their classrooms. The Dream Unfinished is proud to participate in the Music Educators’ Workshop as it provides ensemble directors opportunities to deepen their teaching practices and artistry as musicians. In our participation, we hope to expand the repertoire considered by these educators to include music by composers of African descent, and showcase these composers as worthy of study for their exemplary musical merit and sociocultural relevance.

Sing Her Name is presented by The Dream Unfinished: An Activist Orchestra, whose mission is to provide a platform for classical musicians to show solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
