“Deep Rivers”

Spirituals, Gershwin’s popular Preludes, Aaron Copland’s wry take on the American Songbook, Bernstein’s jazzy sonata, as well as a Northeast premiere of “Deep Rivers” by Mohammed Fairouz, a poignant work reflecting on the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Voting Rights marches featuring baritone Sidney Outlaw – all come together in a one-hour program that explores history through sound, expressing the brash originality and unique story of America. Arrive early and explore the Parrish Art Museum, attend a pre-concert conversation with composer Mohammed Fairouz, then enjoy a glass of wine with the concert.
