Concert at John Brown Farm State Historic Site

The 2023 American Music Festival “Convergence” celebrates the latest in musical innovation, featuring an array of premieres and performances exploring Black American art forms.

As part of a three-year collaborative project, Convergence brings together the Albany Symphony, an array of performers and organizations from across the Capital Region, and nationally acclaimed artistic partners to engage in various Black artistic disciplines relating to the breadth of American culture, new music, and meaningful community-building work.

Guests artists include Convergence Curating Artists: Renowned jazz violinist Regina Carter, Afro-Caribbean Choreographer Adia Tamar Whitaker, and multidisciplinary poet, dancer and spoken-word artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph.

Funded in part with generous investment from the Carl E. Touhey Foundation, Convergence builds broad awareness of our contemporary world while working to expose and eliminate bias through artistic inquiry and musical creation.
