Nathalie Joachim and Spektral Quartet
Fri, Apr 22 | Bates Recital Hall

Nathalie Joachim is a Brooklyn born Haitian-American flutist, composer, and vocalist known for creating “a unique blend of classical music, hip-hop, electronic programming and soulful vocals...” (The Wall Street Journal) 

This project features original songs from the Grammy-nominated album that incorporate the recorded voices of Joachim’s grandmother and the girls choir of her family’s home farming village of Dantan; new arrangements of songs by some of the greatest known female voices in Haitian history; and recorded interviews with these artists about their lives fighting for social justice and uplifting the people of Haiti. Not to be missed.

Angélique Kidjo
Remain In Light
Thu, May 12 | Bass Concert Hall

“On her 2021 album Mother Nature, the 61-year-old Beninese Afropop artist delivers sharp observations about the climate crisis and global injustice with her forceful voice and wraps her sweeping calls for pan-African unity in jubilant rhythm and harmony. Her fifth Grammy win this month makes her the most awarded African musician of all time, and the cast of up-and-coming Afrobeat stars who contributed to Mother Nature cement her status as a living legend who’s helping to shape the next generation. For this show, Kidjo will be revisiting her 2018 project Remain in Light, a recreation of the 1980 Talking Heads album.”
