December 2022 Concert

Musae welcomes interim artistic director Joel Chapman for a set featuring scintillating music from living composers, including local musician Eric Tuan, singer/songwriter Imogen Heap, Rosephanye Powell, Gwyneth Walker, Guggenheim Fellowship recipient Tonia Ko, and the legendary Ysaye Barnwell of Sweet Honey in the Rock.
