Event Details

The 13-member Palaver Strings and Noe Music’s dear friend Nicholas Phan join forces for A Change Is Gonna Come, a stirring exploration of America’s rich legacy of protest songs. This program, based on their 2024 GRAMMY-nominated album, weaves together traditional anthems and contemporary works inspired by social movements and historical events, including Nico Muhly’s Stranger, Akenya Seymour’s Fear the Lamb, and the premiere of Errollyn Wallen’s Protest Songs. Spanning genres and eras, the performance confronts our past and present, celebrating protest as one of our most precious rights. As Gramophone notes, “There is liberation in the timelessness of these songs and settings… a tapestry of protest.”
