On Our Toes In The Hamptons: Building Our Heaven

On Our Toes in the Hamptons: Building Our Heaven is an interdisciplinary performance exploring the spiritual and artistic evolution of Black classical music. Blending live music and spoken word, the program centers Black music as a space of resilience, transcendence, and cultural expression.

The performance features pianist and composer Damien Sneed alongside musicians from The Orchestra for Tomorrow, soprano Angela Renée Simpson, bass Solomon Howard, poet Mahogany L. Browne, and Evidence Dance Company.

Together, these artists traverse classical repertoire, African American sacred traditions, jazz influences, and poetry, creating a rich and immersive experience that honors the legacy and ongoing evolution of Black artistry across generations.
