A Civil Rights Reader: for strings, laptop, and DJ

Event, EV.OMP.2006.03.06

Description

The Del Sol String Quartet reunite with Daniel Bernard Roumain (whose “String Quartet No. 4” they premiered at Other Minds 11 in March 2005) for an evening of cutting edge music-making. Daniel Bernard Roumain marries the instrumentation of string quartet with electric violin, laptop, and a Hip-Hop turntablist. This is the first-ever presentation of all four of his works for the quartet medium and celebrates iconic figures of American Civil Rights who are the dedicatees of each piece: Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., and Maya Angelou. Charles Amirkhanian hosts a post-concert panel discussion with Roumain and DJ Scientific.
