Groundbreaking composers, a dramatic hymn and the American spirit...

Dawson infused his Negro Folk Symphony with the hopeful spirituals from his childhood, while the "Dean of African American Composers" William Grant Still displays his version of the American spirit in his Festive Overture.

Deneve: Davóne Tines' Mass

A visionary opera star returns after a sold-out debut....
As "one of the most powerful voices of our time," Davene Tines is "changing what it means to be a classical singer" (Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker). After a sold-out NWS debut in 2022, Davene Tines returns to perform Recital No. 1: Mass, his celebrated song cycle that puts Bach in conversation with Margaret Bonds, Julius Eastman and Caroline Shaw.
From winning an operatic Pulitzer Prize to scoring Star Wars' The Acolyte, Michael Abels knows how to capture drama. His Delights & Dances mixes jazz, bluegrass, blues and Latin dance that build to what he calls a "raucous hoedown."
