This program will take its audience on a journey through the sonic legacies of Black freedom movements: from the period of antebellum slavery – which saw Auburn’s own Harriet Tubman guide countless enslaved African people north – to the contemporary cinemagraphic excellence of Ryan Coogler’s much heralded "Sinners." Drs. Ambre Dromgoole (Cornell University) and Khyle Wooten (Ithaca College) will contribute their performative and scholarly expertise to analyzing and showcasing the sonic, cultural, and political significance of Black music genres from folk and concertized spirituals to blues, gospel, and jazz. The Music of Freedom is a voyage through the artistic legacy of the Black liberatory tradition.
Program admission is free. Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the Carriage House Theater and on Genesee & Washington St.
