Crossing Borders Music shares music in response to Haiti’s humanitarian crisis, including a premiere performance of Incertitudes! and Haiti’s Lecture by Haitian composer Dickens Princivil, commissioned by Crossing Borders Music following the composer’s kidnapping. The program also includes Rudy Perrault’s “Exodus” string quartet which tells through music the story of Haitians forced to leave their homeland, “Strings for Change” by Gifrants which was written in response to US political insecurity and violence, “Chrysallis devient papillon,” (“Chrysalis Becomes Butterfly”) a metaphor for positive transformation by Sabrina CD Jean Louis, plus hopeful music showing the incredible talents of Haiti’s next generation of musicians, and more.
Free and Open to the Public
This season of Crossing Borders Music performances is made possible through the support of the Paul M Angell Family Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the New Music USA Organizational Development Fund, the John R Halligan Fund, and CliffDwellers Foundation. Crossing Borders Music acknowledges the support of the Illinois Arts Council.
