Seattle Pro Musica: My Heart Be Brave
Free (Online: Free | In person: $28-$38 general, $21 senior/young adult; free for students with ID)
My Heart Be Brave is the first of our New American Composers concerts, featuring composer Marques L.A. Garrett. Marques focuses on traditional music of the African diaspora, as well as contemporary choral music by Black composers.
For his Seattle Pro Musica commissioned work, Marques has chosen a text by the Black American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, with its evocative text asking to ”teach this tongue the singer’s soulful art.”
Pre-concert conversation at 7pm.
2022-23 season performances will also be livestreamed for free; donations will be gratefully accepted.
Attending in person: Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required at the door for all Seattle Pro Musica events this season. Additionally, audience members will be expected to remain masked at all times while indoors.
