October 9, 2024 - Davóne Tines and the American Repertory Theater's new complex
About The Episode
The bass-baritone Davóne Tines has earned a reputation for challenging traditions in classical music and using art to confront social problems. Now he’s collaborating with the Boston-based chamber orchestra, A Far Cry, on the program entitled CODED, which explores the legacy of Black spirituals.
It will be performed in Boston on October 11th at NEC’s Jordan Hall and In New London, CT at Connecticut College on October 13th .
And, five years after Harvard University announced plans to relocate and expand the American Repertory Theater, work is underway on the David E. and Stacey L. Goel Center for Creativity & Performance. Get an inside look here.
The new complex will include two performance venues, rehearsal studios and teaching space, and an outdoor performance area designed to host ticketed and free programming. Designed by the British architecture firm Haworth Tompkins with local architecture partner ARC and theater consultant Charcoalblue, Haworth Tompkins associate director and architect Tom Gibson joins The Culture Show to talk about what has gone into designing the multi-use space.
