Description

Catchfire Collective presents “They Sing, They Clap, They Shout,” a concert exploring the words behind the music. Music is often referred to as the “universal language” - the lingua franca that unites people of different cultures. Music becomes a means of expression, a way to give voice to something when words fail. But while every culture creates music, not every person sings the same song. Some voices are so loud that they drown out others, and some words are privileged. This program explores the words behind the music, the ways in which different people have used music to give themselves or others a voice. Presented by Catchfire Collective at Transform GSO in Downtown Greensboro on Sunday, November 7th at 3:00 PM. This concert is free to Transform members; non-Transform members can purchase pay-what-you-can tickets with a recommended price of $10. Program: A Lot of Words - Phong Tran Hot Take - Robin McLaughlin new cosmologies - inti figgis-vizueta Have and Hold - Allison Loggins-Hull They Sing, They Clap, They Shout - Christopher Mayo Pots ‘N Pans Falling - Edward Top
