CutTime Simfonica with Urban Requiem Project
This variety programs create a conversation between the present moment and the past, recognizing that everyone owns and deserves the public domain of classical music while needing some social context, drums, and shouting to make it real. This performance will feature several hit compositions by the black composer Rick Robinson, including "Highland Park, MI: City of Trees," "Pork 'n Beans," "Social Suicide" from "Art As A Weapon," and "Stuck" from "Phantom Detroit," and yet more.
NOW:FUTURE is a summer series of public art events and online engagements to highlight the contributions of Kresge Artist Fellows and Gilda Award recipients to Detroit’s dance, theatre, film, and music communities. The theme, NOW:FUTURE asks artists to reflect on their experiences and the world around them as it relates to our current cultural, political, and personal landscape.
