pays Homage to Yoruba Music

Music by Yudania Gomez Heredia and Fela Sowande

Hinweis zum Konzert: wer es nicht rechtzeitig zu uns schafft - es werden Tickets an der Abendkasse verfügbar sein!!

The String Archestra was founded in 2016 by the scholar and dramaturg Dr. Dr. Daniele G. Daude to promote the work of Black, Indigenous, and Composers of Color, who have been erased from concert repertories and canonical classical music history. In 2021, the String Archestra won the TONALi Award in the category “Umbruch” and performed at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. The String Archestra collaborates with a wide range of composers such as Ayanna Witter-Johnson, Anthony R. Green, Jessie Montgomery, MARIAMA, Shannon Sea and Shelly Phillips. Season 10 is paying homage to Yoruba cultures in Nigeria and Cuba with music by Fela Sowande and Yudania Gomez Heredia. For the first time The String Archestra will be playing and be conducted by the Cuban composer, organist, and choir director Yudania Gomez Heredia.
