Join us for a landmark performance of Omar’s Journey, a concert opera adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning work by Rhiannon Giddens and Michael Abels. It shares the powerful story of Omar Ibn Said from his freedom in West Africa to enslavement in South Carolina. Through a breathtaking fusion of West African musical traditions and classical opera, brought to life by a cast of world-class artists, “Omar’s Journey” promises an unforgettable exploration of resilience, faith, and the enduring human spirit.
