Kyle P. Walker and Katherine Dennis

Presented in collaboration with the Polish Cultural Institute New York and Genuine Interest

Orchestrated is a new documentary feature film that traces the winding pathway of the past, present, and future of Black classical musicianship from the forgotten legacy of the 1930s Negro Symphony Orchestra, founded under the leadership of Harlem's leading activists and thinkers, to The Metropolitan Opera's premiere of Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones in 2021. Following the conversation, the evening concludes with a musical performance by pianist Kyle Walker and violinist Katherine Dennis, playing the Harlem Renaissance era composer William Grant Still’s Suite for Violin and Piano (1943) and Sonata for Violin and Piano in F Minor, op. 5 (1902) by Ignatz Waghalter, the groundbreaking composer and organizer of the NSO.

Join us for a conversation with award-winning filmmakers and artists.
