Fanm D'Ayiti, an Edward T. Cone Concert - Livestreamed from Wolfensohn Hall
In 2015, Haitian-American composer, singer and flutist Nathalie Joachim decided to compose new music that would explore her connections to her immediate family, to her heritage, and to her artistic roots. The result is the Grammy Award-nominated Fanm D'Ayiti (Women of Haiti), a collection of songs that weave together her own family stories with powerful tributes to three pioneering Haitian female musicians—Carole Demesmin, Emerante de Pradines and Toto Bissainthe. With the collaboration of Chicago's Spektral Quartet, Joachim has created a song cycle of immense poignancy and beauty.
