Inspired by the vibrant transcultural fusion of the Modern’s exhibition "Surrealism and Us," Sounds Modern presents a concert of three works that weave Afro-Caribbean and European musical threads together into new and vivid tapestries of sound.
Recent Dallas Symphony composer-in-residence Angelica Negrón refers to the Puerto Rican bomba, a dance style with African roots, in Quimbombó – which is also the name of a classic stewed okra dish. Pulitzer Prize winner Tania León’s Tres Voces finds unity within dissonance and disconnection, bringing echoes of Latin rhythms into an avant-garde musical language. And Julius Eastman’s Stay On It explores individual expression in community, driven by the intensity of a Cuban son clave rhythm.
