Music is a time machine. With one flick of the conductor’s baton we’re in grand Vienna, with 100 voices raised to sing of joy and hope for the future. Blink your eyes, and we’ve traveled to 1940s America at the desk of a young Black composer who is destined to break barriers, as he pours his whole soul into a lament for his grandmother. Blink again, and it’s the present… or is it the future? Cellphone and computer technology pair with human creativity to explore a brave new chapter. You’re invited to come along on this most extraordinary journey of past, present and future.
