What Is American: Rhythm Nation
March 20 @ 7:30 pm
What Is American: Rhythm Nation is the next issue in PUBLIQuartet’s What Is American series, a GRAMMY®-nominated album and touring project. This second volume features and celebrates American rhythmic traditions as expressions of bodily autonomy and tacit history-keeping. The program features four new works by Mazz Swift, Eddie Venegas, Jeff Scott, and Pulitzer Prize finalist Jlin, made possible through a 2024 Chamber Music America Artistic Projects grant supported by the Howard Gilman Foundation. Each piece evokes a distinct rhythmic world, reflecting the plurality of American movements and protecting the unspoken spirit of their lineage’s narratives.
