SONiC Festival: Yosvany Terry

American Composer’s Orchestra

ABOUT

Created by saxophonist, percussionist, and composer Yosvany Terry and mezzo-soprano Alicia Hall Moran, Atlantic Creations is a song cycle inspired by a selection of poets from the African Diaspora, including Maya Angelou (United States), Salgado Maranhão (Brasil), and Silvie Kandé (Senegal). Their poetic works served as a point of departure for Terry and Hall to explore themes of land, home, motherhood, love, loss, distance, displacement, and water as some of the elements that spiritually connect the peoples of the African Diaspora. Atlantic Connections was originally commissioned by the Harvard University Committee on the Arts.
