Winds and string quartet tell stories of African-American journeys in honor of the Great Migration.
The two world-class ensembles join forces to honor the experiences of more than six million African-Americans who fled the rural south for urban centers across the United States in the early 20th century. The collaboration features a variety of works exploring the concept of migration including violinist and composer Jessie Montgomery's piece celebrating the story of her great-grandfather. Sergeant McCauley is a sound map of the travels of the buffalo soldier who migrated northward before ultimately returning south to Mississippi.
