Music and Message: Black Voices – Malmgren Concert

The New York City-based Warp Trio will present “Black Voices,” a multidisciplinary performance that integrates classical, jazz, hip-hop, and spoken word, dance, and song presenting works all created by African-American artists.

Described as, “A talented group that exemplifies the genre-obliterating direction of contemporary classical music,” (Columbia Free Times), Warp Trio is an internationally-touring cross-genre chamber music experience. Reflecting the combination of Juilliard-trained members juxtaposed with members steeped in rock and jazz styles, the one-of-a-kind trio (that even has a fourth member!) can be seen performing classical works in prestigious halls on the same tour where they headline a show at a rock venue.

The members of Warp Trio (Mikael Darmanie, piano; Josh Henderson, violin; Ju Young Lee, cello; Rick Martinez, percussion) will be joined by three special guests for their performance at Hendricks Chapel: dancer Emily Haughton, vocalist Sylver Wallace, and spoken word artist and Emcee Likwuid.
