BETWEEN is a new musical work by Andromeda Turre, commissioned in recognition of the 2027 bicentennial of the end of legal slavery in New York.
This one hour immersive work will premiere at the Bedford Hills Community House, inviting audiences into a space of music and reflection. Each movement explores a different dimension of the complicated history surrounding abolition and manumission, accompanied by a guided journaling prompt that encourages participants to consider their own relationship to contradiction, choice, freedom, and responsibility.
At the heart of BETWEEN is a question: What happens when we allow ourselves to explore the gray areas that make us human? In a divided world that so often asks us to see people as either us or them, the work creates space for complexity, nuance, and the uncomfortable truths that can exist between opposing ideas.
Audience members will have the option to contribute excerpts from their writing to a collective archive. Selected contributions will be bound into a book and made available for viewing at John Jay Homestead alongside an installation of BETWEEN, creating a living record of the reflections inspired by the work.
