KRONOS FESTIVAL: PROGRAM #3

Watch on FACEBOOK or YOUTUBE.

World premieres by Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté, Eiko Otake, and Tongo Eisen-Martin (45 minutes)

Program #3 closes KRONOS FESTIVAL with a focus on the Black American struggle for civil rights. Kronos is joined by San Francisco Poet Laureate Tongo Eisen-Martin in Third in the World, a new film with original poetry. Abel Meeropol’s Strange Fruit, made famous by Billie Holiday, is heard in an arrangement by Jacob Garchik. The recorded voice of civil rights leader Dr. Clarence B. Jones is featured in an excerpt from Zachary James Watkins’ Peace Be Till. The third of Diabaté’s world premieres, ‘Kalime,’ is a buoyant triple-meter song with a melancholy tinge. Also on the program: A Body in Fukushima, with music by David Harrington, in which legendary movement artist Eiko Otake (of Eiko and Koma) dances on the beach in Fukushima, Japan, near the site of the nuclear plant disaster of 2011. Closing the festival on an uplifting note is Terry Riley‘s ‘One Earth, One People, One Love’ from Sun Rings.

All KRONOS FESTIVAL programs will be available for on-demand streaming through August 31, 2021 on Kronos’ YouTube and Facebook channels.
