Among The Fuchsias: A Tribute to the Harlem Renaissance
AMONG THE FUCHSIAS is an evocative tribute to the legendary poets and writers of the 20th-century Harlem Renaissance. This evening of song invites listeners on a journey through time, seen through the eyes of literary giants like Langston Hughes, Laurence Hope, and James Weldon Johnson.
The performance features the beautiful impressionistic works of Harry T. Burleigh and Duke Ellington to contemporary compositions by Ricky Ian Gordon and Pete Malinverni. Join us for a powerful celebration of Black History Month, immersed in the beauty of Black musical tradition, from the deep roots of Spirituals to the elegance of Art Songs and the soulful energy of Jazz.
