On Wednesday, December 9th at 5 PM EST, the American Symphony Orchestra presents 'United We Play,' a short film featuring three world premiere compositions for strings, jazz instrumentals, and piano by renowned jazz pianist and composer, Marcus Roberts. A response to the turbulence of 2020, 'United We Play' is a collaboration between Marcus Roberts, The Modern Jazz Generation, and the American Symphony Orchestra. This communal effort resulted in a film showcasing how music can help society to find strength through adversity and community through division.
The film is free to watch, though RSVP is required: https://overture.plus/Home/BuyPerformance?performanceID=4986147a-842a-4def-9c66-aa939e0cdbf6&ref=JZZ
