Immerse yourself in a musical event that made history: When William L. Dawson's "Negro Folk Symphony" premiered at Carnegie Hall in 1934, the audience could hardly stay in their seats – the applause erupted after just the second movement, completely contrary to usual concert etiquette.
Let yourself be swept away by the impressive fusion of West African, African-American, and European sound traditions – a symphonic experience full of depth, rhythm, and soul.
