Special Event

Harvard Art Museums
32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA

Enjoy an afternoon of live music in the Calderwood Courtyard—free and open to everyone!

The Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA) will present Atlantic Connections, a jazz performance led by Yosvany Terry, senior lecturer on music at Harvard, and mezzo-soprano Alicia Hall Moran, who will perform a work inspired by poets from the African diaspora, including Maya Angelou, Salgado Maranhão, and Sylvie Kandé. This performance will explore the themes of land, home, motherhood, love, loss, distance, displacement, and water, which are among the elements that spiritually connect the peoples of the African diaspora.

Additional performers include:
Fabian Almazán, a 2020 recipient of an honorarium from HUCA and a graduate student in creative practice and critical inquiry
Yunior Terry, Assistant Professor of Music, New York University
David Virelles, jazz musician

This is the second of two performances. The first event will take place at Farkas Hall on Thursday, September 15, at 7:30pm. Both events are free and open to the public.
