Pianist Kyle Walker performs music of J.S. Bach and various African-American composers.
Audience members are invited to bring a bag lunch to eat. The church will provide drinks and cookies.
A strong
advocate for social equality, pianist Kyle Walker believes music can speak to
social issues better than verbal language can, the understanding of which he
brings to both traditional Western repertoire and that of the living world-wide
composers with whom he collaborates.
As
an advocate of social justice Walker is a founding member and chamber music
director of The Dream Unfinished, an activist orchestra which supports
New York City-based civil rights and community organizations through concerts and
presentations.
He is currently embarking on a solo performance project entitled BlackNotes, which aims to explore the divides and connections between White American and Black American Art Music. See and hear more of Kyle Walker’s musicianship at www.kylewalkerpiano.com.
