Castle of our Skins presents a family friendly, music-dance-spoken word performance that shines the light on Black artistry as part of Rockport Music’s Education and Community Engagement series. Solo and chamber works by legendary Black composers like Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Undine Smith Moore complement the sounds of contemporary voices like Jessie Montgomery and Kendrick Lamar, all while mingling with spoken word and contemporary and balletic dance performances.
