World Premiere of Ray Angry's Black Athena~Power

BLACK ATHENA ~ POWER is the acknowledgment of the Divine Feminine, designed to bring the essence of humanity to the surface. It is a journey in time to visit our collective ancestry and explore the trajectory of power throughout the ages. Inspired by Martin Bernal’s novel, Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization, this symphony in three movements, confronts the historic and resolves in the personal; stripping external Hope, Love and Logic in order to restore control of one’s own power.
- Ray Angry, composer

Pre-concert conductor talk at 6:30 pm.

The program also includes Mozart's Overture to Don Giovanni and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5.
