Deep River

The Flow of Negro Spirituals throughout Time 

For grades 4-12

February 8, 2024 at 11am

Herbst Theatre, 401 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco

Join Alex Taite – singer, composer, pianist, and Bay Area native, as he explores the depths and beauty of the Negro Spiritual. Showcasing original arrangements of his favorite spirituals, jazz standards, and other exclusively American selections, Alex interweaves a vivid historical narrative of American culture while examining how our American music stems from the trauma of those first enslaved people who sang to pass the time in the fields or lend some comfort in a dark room.

This event will inspire, engage, deepen students’ connection to history and fellow humans, and encourage them to think of modern music in new ways. The 60-minute program concludes with a talk back with the artist.
