We Need To Revisit ‘The Movement’

Eight-time Grammy Award-winning bassist, bandleader and host of NPR’s “Jazz Night in America,” Christian McBride brings his monumental musical tribute inspired by the words of Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Muhammad Ali and President Barack Obama. “When the suite soars, it follows the bandleader’s strengths, known for his ebullient precision — his joy in the details — and for savoring the nectar inside swing rhythm” (DownBeat). The Movement: Revisited is a one night performance on Feb. 2nd at The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Symphony Center.

Current TTS Faculty/ Students Involved In This Production Include: Cris Anthony (Faculty), Tyshaun Meekie (BFA ACTING 25) Portraying Martin Luther King Jr, DeVaughn Loman (BFA ACTING 24) Portraying Cassius Clay/ Muhammad Ali, Alexis Primus (MFA ACTING 24) Portraying Rosa Parks & Isaiah Z.
