What does the Gettysburg Address Mean to You? NON:op Open Opera Works presents commissioned responses to the Gettysburg Address by award-winning artists and performers.
On November 19, 1863, President Lincoln spoke at the dedication of the Soldiers’ National Cemetery and described the United States as a nation “conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”
As we continue to witness disproportionate brutality against Black Americans, NON:op Open Opera Works presents a concert tour of three commissioned works by Black artists that re-interpret and represent Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and Sal Martirano’s 1967 antiwar classic, L’sGA.
Hip hop artist Kao Ra Zen, 3Arts awardee and multidisciplinary artist A.J. McClenon, and Urbana poet laureate Ja Nelle Davenport-Pleasure explore themes of liberty, oppression, patriotism, racism, and revolution. Chicago Emmy winner, actor, and playwright, Willie “Prince Roc” Round, will be featured in a new production of Martirano’s L’sGA.
All concerts will be preceded by a reading of the Gettysburg Address and poetry by L’sGA collaborator M.C. Holloway.General Info
