Shadow & Act: Music and Readings Inspired by Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man
Join the Arch Stanton Quartet at Voorheesville Public Library for “Shadow & Act: Music Inspired by Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man" — a special night of original compositions and readings.
“Invisible Man” is a classic American novel published in 1952, offering a first-person fictional account of an unnamed narrator’s attempts to navigate complex racial and social relations in the first quarter of the twentieth century.
ASQ’s program includes three original jazz compositions inspired by scenes or motifs from “Invisible Man,” along with a rendition of Fats Wallers’ “Black and Blue” – a tune which figures prominently as a literary device in the novel. The performance also includes readings from Ellison’s book.
This program has been brought to libraries, book stores and other events throughout New York State, and we are excited for this reprise performance in Voorheesville during African-American History Month.
No registration necessary.
