BRUITS SHEDS LIGHT ON THE MURDEROUS CONSEQUENCES OF THE STAND YOUR GROUND LAW. THE LIGHT IS THE SAME ELABORATES RUMI’S REFLECTION ON CONNECTION: RELIGIONS ARE MANY/ BUT GOD IS ONE/ THE LAMPS MAY BE DIFFERENT/ BUT THE LIGHT IS THE SAME. SOMETIMES (I FEEL LIKE A MOTHERLESS CHILD) IS TRANSFORMED INTO A NEW CREATION. THE NEED IS CLEAR, IN BLACK AND WHITE. WE ARE BRUITED. OUR PASSAGES ARE RAW, BLOCKED. AND WE CANNOT CONTINUE THIS WAY. THERE ARE WAYS TO UNITE. WE CAN BE CONNECTED BY LOVE. WE CAN UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER BY COMMUNICATING. AND WE CAN BE HEALED BY MUSIC. WITH THAT IN MIND IMANI WINDS HAS ASSEMBLED THESE MUSICAL SELECTIONS, ALL WRITTEN FOR THE ENSEMBLE, TO BRING US TOGETHER THROUGH INTENTIONALLY RELEVANT COMPOSITIONS, PERFORMANCES, AND PROGRAMMING. -IMANI WINDS 2020
