Are you ready to return to the Archives?<\/p>\n
Last fall, the BSO partnered with the Archives of African American Music and Culture (AAAMC)<\/a> to bring you an unforgettable collaboration. And now, we will return to the archives for another exciting journey into America\u2019s musical heritage \u2013 both past and present. Audiences will hear works by some familiar figures, such as late jazz legend (and beloved IU faculty member) David Baker. And if you came to our \u201cImagine: Collaboration\u201d concert last fall, you will recognize more music by jazz pianist and composer, Mickey Tucker.<\/p>\n This is also a rare opportunity to learn more about some truly fantastic music that will likely be unfamiliar to many people. The programmed works range from those that have been recorded and performed (Undine Smith Moore\u2019s \u201cAfro American Suite for Piano, Cello and Flute\u201d and Mickey Tucker\u2019s \u201cBlues for Khalid\u201d) to those that have never been published, including handwritten manuscripts from the archives (Moore\u2019s \u201cAndante for Strings\u201d and Charles Coleman\u2019s \u201cDuo for Two Violins\u201d). The concert starts at 7pm on Wednesday, Januray 17, at First United Church. This unique musical experience is free for all audience members, although donations<\/a> of any amount are welcome and appreciated.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nSo please join us, as we return to the archives to enjoy the music of David Baker, Mickey Tucker, Undine Smith Moore, Carl MaultsBy, and Charles Coleman. An extra dimension of learning and discovery will be provided by Mia Watts, Head of Collections at the AAAMC, who will provide commentary and context for these works throughout the concert.<\/p>\n
