Greene Space Inaugural Concert

Evening Music | May 6, 2010

WNYC’s new Jerome L. Greene Performance Space bursts onto the New York landscape with its inaugural concert, an explosion of experimentation and innovation as three platforms - radio, digital and live - collide to create a special evening. Terrance McKnight brings you a live broadcast of performances by Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR), Musical Director of Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, who will play a solo violin piece, and writer/activist Sonia Sanchez, a National Book Award winner, who will perform an original poem created specifically to inaugurate the space. The evening in its entirety will be webcast on the Greene Space website.

Also Featured Tonight:

Margaret Bonds / The Negro Speaks of Rivers (poem by Langson Hughes)
David Diamond / "The Enormous Room"
