Journey, Migration, And Astral Bodies - Daniel Romain & Tamar-kali

About this event

Journey, Migration and Astral Bodies is a powerful world-premiere concert experience conceived by acclaimed composer, violinist, and cultural provocateur Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR). This evening-length work blends original orchestral compositions with cinematic portraiture to explore how?and why?we move. What compels a journey? What are its costs, its rituals, its revelations? And in choosing to travel?across geographies, generations, or inner landscapes?who do we become, and whom do we carry with us? Anchored by the Arizona State University Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Alejandro Guillén, the experience unfolds in scenes that hold space for longing, reclamation, and radical possibility. The original orchestral and chamber works by DBR and Tamar-kali?two prolific composer-performers whose bodies of work span stage and screen?are shaped by lived lineages of migration and resilience, giving the score both intimate grounding and sweeping emotional force.
