Presented the day after Martin Luther King Day and heralding the arrival of Black History Month in February, the theme for this concert was inspired by a treasure trove of recently discovered music by Margaret Bonds, an African-American composer whose voice was silenced and unknown for many years, but is now coming into the mainstream through performances and research on her life and music. The program will also include works by other composers whose music is being recognized after years of neglect, as well as composer Frederic Rzewski, who used folk music and inspiration from social justice as a focal point of his work.
This concert celebrates Piano Spheres’ debut at UCLA’s beautiful new Nimoy Theater, centrally located on Westwood Blvd. near the Hammer Museum in Westwood. Parking is plentiful in adjoining lot.
