Symphony for the Dance Floor
According to BAM.org, "Acclaimed composer-violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) returns to BAM with an invigorating new production fueled by DBR’s inimitable mash-up of pop, hip-hop, and classical music. The third and final installment of a multi-year BAM commission that includes One Loss Plus (2007 Next Wave) and Darwin’s Meditation for The People of Lincoln (2008 Next Wave), Symphony for the Dance Floor features hip-hop artist Lord Jamar (founding member of Brand Nubian, HBO’s Oz), Bessie Award-winning singer, songwriter, and performance artist Cynthia Hopkins, photography and video by Jonathan Mannion, and choreography by Millicent Johnnie (Urban Bush Women)."
