Introducing The Unsung! Hymn to the Strange, is a collaborative project from Neo Muyanga with The Unsung—a community-based music collective devoted to celebrating stories of the Black experience, directed by Tyrone Clinton, Jr. Weaving through generations and timescales as a Greek chorus might, Hymn to the Strange collectively narrates both the submission and precarity of their lives and the strength of their resistance amidst such vast, indeterminate, and often unforeseeable forces. The project includes a sound piece and three live choral rehearsal-performances every other Saturday beginning October 1 until March. 🎶 Walk-ins are welcome. RSVP (via link in bio) encouraged. Through contemporary music, The Unsung navigates countless stories that are the true fabric of historical and current events. The Unsung is comprised of members from the New York City area, and designed to stretch the confines of music of the Western canon. This ensemble and its members are born of the same community that bears the music by which these stories are told. As a result, The Unsung is dedicated to serving the NYC community through song, educating its audiences and fostering relationships with those that are willing to listen. Singers: Kalia Baptiste, Charles Carter, Patrice P. Eaton, Jay St. Flono, Karen Gonzalez, Olanna Goudeau, Elle Green, Angelo Johnson, Kevin Johnson, Tristan Layne, Asha Lindsey, Taiwan Norris, Ian Rawle George, Rodari Simpson, Michelle Trinidad, Clayton G. Williams. Hymn to the Strange, is part of the first solo exhibition A Mass of Cyborgs by South African artist and composer Neo Muyanga curated by Manuela Moscoso, Executive Director.
