SUMMARY:A Spiritual Fantasy
DESCRIPTION:Boston Symphony Hall pre-concert with Castle of Our Skins\nSunday\, March 4\, 2023 from 6-7 pm\nBoston Symphony Hall\nA Spiritual Fantasy highlights African American composers who had a woven connection with Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and William Grant Still: Clarence Cameron White was born five years after Coleridge-Taylor and later studied with him; Florence Price was born six years before Grant Still and grew up as neighbors in Arkansas; Frederick Tillis was born the same year audiences first heard Grant Still’s Afro-American Symphony.\n​All of the composers were greatly influenced by a truly unique expression of African American strength\, resilience\, and community: the Negro Spiritual. A Spiritual Fantasy explores these themes in music\, knowing the same sense of strength\, resilience\, and community were pivotal forces that inspired civil rights activist Octavius Catto.​ \n

There Once Was Parking turns the gallery setting into a creative space to explore art\, music\, and food through a multitude of free events and thoughtful conversation. Questions? You won’t be afraid to ask. \nCurated by Jodie Baehre
