Summary:

Grappling with themes of resilience, resistance and the nature of power, Curtis Stewart weaves a confessional narrative, through the lens of a Black man searching for authenticity in classical music. Original compositions and reimagined works of Charlie Parker, J.S. Bach, John Coltrane, Nicolo Paganini, Stevie Wonder, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Elektra Kurtis, Childish Gambino, Coleridge Taylor-Perkinson and Eugene Ysaye serve as vehicles for a post-classical offering inspired by personal adversity and bolstered by the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
