Hermitage Sunsets @ Nathan Benderson Park: “Musical Moods”
Hermitage Sunsets @ Nathan Benderson Park: “Musical Moods” with Hermitage Fellows Amir ElSaffar and Chris Ryan Williams, Friday, February 2, 5pm: Growing up in Chicago in a home where Arabic, Spanish, and English were all commonly heard as the Beatles played on the turntable, jazz trumpeter and multi-instrumentalist Amir ElSaffar has always been interested in the most expansive range of music possible. Exploring the complex forces shaping the simultaneous realities of trauma and power in all Black Americans, Chris Ryan Williams’ multidisciplinary works have been seen across the United States and Europe. Both composers have a love for collaboration, improvisation, and experimentation and a deep interest in how music builds community. These two celebrated composers and performers will be sharing the ‘stage’ at Nathan Benderson Park. Join the Hermitage for an incredible evening of music and conversation with these internationally renowned talents. Presented in partnership with Nathan Benderson Park Conservancy. Registration is required at HermitageArtistRetreat.org ($5/person registration fee). Nathan Benderson Park, 5851 Nathan Benderson Circle, Sarasota, FL 34235
