PROGRAM
Harlem Stage presents The Harlem Chamber Players and the Talea Ensemble in a tribute concert to the great Julius Eastman, performing his 1974 work, Femenine. Considered one of the most controversial and progressive composers of the 1970s and ’80s, Julius Eastman was a strong, vocal African-American queer artist whose music was nearly lost and his genius nearly forgotten forever.

In this performance, described by The New York Times as “meditative, kaleidoscopic, [and] eventually ecstatic,” 10 musicians from the Harlem Chamber Players and the Talea Ensemble pay tribute to this visionary artist. Eastman’s music bonds minimalism, jazz, and pop to create a joyous mesmerizing experience. This late revitalization of his work is sure to become a pillar in the development of contemporary music and will solidify Julius Eastman’s place in the canon.
