Rodney Whitaker Event:
These pieces are remarkable. Selecting just eight paintings from such a compelling art collection proved to be an arduous task. The artistry is breathtaking, profoundly portraying the multifaceted beauty, resilience, and shared humanity within Black love and its inherent struggles. My musical selections, chosen from my own compositions, aim to resonate deeply with the emotional power and individual character of each piece. These works feature a rich instrumental tapestry woven from the musical instruments: trumpet, saxophone, piano, bass, drums, and percussion, with three compositions further enhanced by the expressive power of the human voice.

Audience members will experience a dynamic exchange between musicians and selected artworks from the Everyday People exhibit, with original compositions created to reflect the essence of specific paintings. Through sound, rhythm, and spoken word, the performance becomes a conversation one that brings art to life in an engaging and immersive way.
