About the Event

A spellbinding multimedia song-cycle bringing together the extraordinary cotton photography of John Dowell with newly commissioned poems by renowned poets, including Nikki Giovanni, Marc Bamuthi Joseph, and Alora Young. Brilliantly set to music by composer Damien Geter, for mezzo-soprano, baritone, and piano, the song cycle unfolds against the backdrop of enormous, constantly evolving images projected throughout this mesmerizing song experience. This profound journey, deep into the world of cotton, balances tragic history with resilience, hope, and high art.

Presented by La Jolla Music Society.
