Join HSA and the Harlem Chamber Players for a Master Class with composer Trevor Weston, live streamed from Dorothy Maynor Hall on Friday, June 4 at 5pm EST on Zoom.

Trevor Weston’s music has been called a “gently syncopated marriage of intellect and feeling.” (Detroit Free Press) Weston’s honors include the George Ladd Prix de Paris from the University of California, Berkeley, a Goddard Lieberson Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and residencies from the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and the MacDowell Colony. Weston co-authored with Olly Wilson, chapter 5 in the Cambridge Companion to Duke Ellington, “Duke Ellington as a Cultural Icon” published by Cambridge University Press. Weston’s work, Juba for Strings won the 2019 Sonori/New Orleans Chamber Orchestra Composition Competition.

We will perform his work The People Could Fly as part of our Juneteenth program, Pity These Ashes: TULSA 1921-2021.
