Rhiannon Giddens by Ebru Yildiz
Friday, March 10, 2023 7:30 PM Zankel Hall
Rhiannon Giddens has had a lifelong mission of shining light on previously under-recognized voices and overhauling our understanding of the history of American music to make it reflect the real impact people of all colors have made. In a stunning collaboration of global instrumentation and strings, Giddens leads women and non-binary members of the Silkroad Ensemble and Tuscarora/Taino singer-songwriter Pura Fé on a musical journey that connects the music of indigenous North America to the world.
