The SFJAZZ Poet Laureate and Rockefeller Fellow Marc Bamuthi Joseph presents an exclusive look into his upcoming opera Race, Violence and the Sacred.
Based around the mass shooting at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue in 2018 and the 2015 massacre at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, Race, Violence and the Sacred imagines the two houses of worship sharing a common alley, with a journalist there to investigate the crimes. This night will share excerpts from the new work, and Bamuthi will lead a broader conversation around race, violence, and the sacred.
Founding Program Director of the non-profit Youth Speaks, Bamuthi is one of America's vital voices in performance, arts education, and artistic curation. He was the artistic director of the HBO documentary series Russell Simmons presents Brave New Voices and an inaugural recipient of the United States Artists Rockefeller Fellowship. He was named to the inaugural class of Doris Duke Artists in 2012.
