Join us at the Modlin Center on Thursday, October 23 to see and hear Blackbird, Fly, a powerful, intimate duet featuring spoken word artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph (also known as Bamuthi) and composer and violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain (also known as DBR). The piece explores the artists’ own life stories. This artist-described ‘concert for voice, body, and strings’ reflects on universal themes of tolerance and inclusion.

DBR’s music transcends genre, employing both traditional violin techniques and amplified sounds. Bamuthi’s words and expressive body movements combine hip-hop inspired storytelling, folklore, and politics, touching on everything from fatherhood and friendship to mass incarceration.
