On Thursday, March 25 at 7 p.m., you’re invited to attend Walking with My Ancestors, a Zoom-based multimodal performance piece that generates fresh perspectives on the experiences of the nameless Black women, men, and children who once lingered in the dungeons of West Africa and suffered the agony of the middle passage.

This is a good companion release to Alberga's string quartet album. Now what I'd really like to hear is some of her large-scale works.
John Abraham Fisher Symphonies have plenty of hooks
They might be transitional, but these symphonies have their own internal logic. Audiences of the day enjoyed Fisher's symphonies. And I did, too.
