If there’s another concerto for this instrument, we don’t know it 👀
Composer-soloist Brian Raphael Nabors is here to perform his Concerto for Hammond Organ as part of our Juneteenth Celebration led by Kedrick Armstrong—here’s what he said about the work:
“In the history of American music, the Hammond organ has seamlessly crossed genres and broken barriers. From the spiritual silos of the Black church, to the smooth and vivacious world of Jazz, to the hardy soulfulness of Rock; the Hammond has been there. This concerto is my love letter to all that has made me the artist I am. It is a love letter to the beauty, pain, and struggle that American music was born from.”
Catch this piece and a whole lot more on our Juneteenth Celebration tomorrow, June 18—tickets at the link 🔗 in our bio.
