Join us in celebrating the artistry of Michael Abels, the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer behind the scores of Jordan Peele’s “Get Out,” “Us,” and “Nope.” Abels’ work transcends boundaries, also including powerful concert compositions such as “Omar,” an opera co-created with Rhiannon Giddens.
On March 7th, Ables will be joined by the Barbara & Richard T. Silver Wind Symphony in Bailey Hall for a concert at 7:30 p.m., preceded by a 6:30 p.m. panel between Abels and faculty. Abels joins as guest composer for the concert, alongside soprano Lisa Williamson, flutist Juliana Pepinsky and clarinetist Louis Arques. The program includes Abels’ “Unbound” and “Winged Creatures,” selections from “Omar” and Duke Ellington’s “A Tone Parallel to Harlem.”
