Description
On Saturday, July 28, the Piedmont Piano Company will feature a FREE concert of the hip hop/classical music fusion project Great Integration: A Chamber Hip Hop Opera. Live footage of a performance is available here (http://t.co/bqZvz8ry).Great Integration is a hybrid work that transcends the reductive black/white dichotomy of modern hip hop by combining it with classical music. Partially inspired by the Mayan calendar prophecies, the hip hop opera tells an allegorical saga of the conquering of the material lords and the birth of a new world paradigm.
It is performed by an 8-piece chamber orchestra made up of flute, cello, clarinet, violin, bass, and deep funk drums, along with two MCs and the project’s creator, composer/pianist JooWan Kim.
The hip hop opera has been featured in publications such as The New Yorker, NPR, SF Chronicle & more. Please check out our recent features on MTV (http://t.co/2C2rok5z) and East Bay Express (http://t.co/fIjSfYmv).
