The Making of brea(d)th
7m 4s
Composer Carlos Simon and Librettist and spoken word artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph arrive in Minneapolis for an early reading of brea(d)th. Ahead of its world premiere, the creative partners discuss the vision for this new work commissioned by the Minnesota Orchestra. It is a moving, yearning, admonition for repair made in honor of George Floyd, and in reflection of those who have gone too soon. Simon and Joseph embrace the aspiration of racial equity through music-centered community healing.
