Still Here | One: Presented by The Morris-Jumel Mansion and WildLine

Morris-Jumel Mansion, in partnership with WildLine, proudly presents a celebration of black American composers, with live performances by writer and poet extraordinaire Angela Decker, in collaboration with WildLine’s flute and string trio, which speaks to all the ways in which we are “still here”. The concert includes vibrant works by Tyson Gholston Davis, Florence Price, Brittany Green, Jessie Cox, Shelley Washington, and Roger Stubblefield.

WildLine is a new project-based chamber music ensemble, initiated by flutist Tessa Brinckman, that imagines, nurtures and performs all kinds of sound worlds, ancestries and futures. Based in the wilds of northern Manhattan the ensemble has launched their first concert series season, Still Here | One, Two and Three in NYC.

The Morris-Jumel Mansion is Manhattan’s oldest surviving residence. The Morris-Jumel Mansion, built in 1765, preserves, collects, and interprets history, culture, and the arts to explore inclusive narratives that engage and inspire diverse audiences.
