Generations
Ay sí,
it's my turn
to oh say
what I see,
I'm going to sing America!
***************
Then, besides
They'll see how beautiful I am...
I, too, am America
Excerpt from the poem "I, Too, Sing América" by Julia Alvarez. Copyright © 2002 by Julia Alvarez. First appeared in WRITERS ON AMERICA: 15 REFLECTIONS, published by the U.S. Department of State.
Inspired by the poetry of Langston Hughes and Julia Alvarez, the Sphinx’s program will showcase the beauty and tradition of excellence inherent in classical music created and performed by Black and Latinx composers for many generations, including:
Quenton Blache: Habari Gani
Javier Farias: Abran Paso
Andrea Casarrubios: Herencia
Adolphus Hailstork: from Sonata da Chiesa
Xavier Foley: Concertante for Two Double Basses and String Orchestra, "Galaxy"
Coleridge Taylor Perkinson: Sinfonietta No. 2, “Generations”
