Classical Roots by Childs, B., Sat 02 Mar 2024, From (2024/2024), Conductor Na’Zir McFadden, Orchestra Hall, Detroit, United States

Classical Roots has celebrated the contributions of African American composers and artists for nearly fifty years. This season, we hear new music from Shelley Washington, who focuses "on exploring emotions and intentions by finding their root cause." Saxophonist Steven Banks, "one of the transformational musicians of the twenty-first century" (Seen and Heard International) performs a new concerto written for him by Grammy Award-winner Billy Childs.
