Liana Asim: Brother Nat
And we are BACK to our usual format, highlighting one local playwright per episode. This month's featured playwright is Liana Asim, who has put together an epic opera along with her husband Jabari and a few musical collaborators about the life of the slave rebellion leader Nat Turner. BROTHER NAT: RISE. REVOLT. REDEMPTION. had a concert performance last October, which is where the gorgeous excerpt in the episode came from. The piece will be performed again this month at the New York Musical Festival, July 15 & 17. IMPORTANT!
