Based on the numbers 8-4-6, this sprightly piece was inspired by the initial reported length of time that former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin held his knee on George Floyd's neck. Recorded in the stunningly beautiful Millennium Hotel in downtown Minneapolis, this piece showcases the city where George Floyd was murdered as well as the masterful playing of the Chione Quintet. Just as the recording of George Floyd's murder incited large global protests against police brutality and systemic racism, Dr. Nash hopes his music incites a positive reaction. https://garynash.musicaneo.com https://chionequintet.org Videography: Aglow Cinematics https://www.aglowcinematics.com FB @BreatheMusicCollective

"Duo for Violin and Cello" by Jessie Montgomery "Maombi Asante" by Valerie Coleman We are thrilled to make our first “musical emergence” of 2021 with a brand new program featuring music by Black composers. “Voices Unheard” addresses the lack of diversity in classical music–who and what is seen and hear on stage as well as the target audience demographic. Classical music culture has come at the cost of excluding and dismissing artists of color, especially Black and Brown musicians and composers. “Musical Emergence: Voices Unheard” is a fierce and exciting program that takes the listener on a journey through natural disasters and emotional turbulence while acknowledging the resilience we have within ourselves to come together and support our community.
