Alicia Hall Moran: THE MOTOWN PROJECT

Now streaming, on demand!

the motown project is back by popular demand, after its success at the 2021 Under the Radar Festival. Musical traditions yearning for each other across race, class, and nation grace Alicia Hall Moran's meditation on the classic Motown songbook - a cinematic, movement-based aria fusing "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch" with Mozart, while Marvin Gaye's lyrical pathos finds solemnity in Purcell. Featuring Thomas Flippin (guitar and theorbo), Steven Herring (vocals), Barrington Lee (vocals), Raphael Fusco (piano) and, in the rhythm section, Jason Moran (piano), LaFrae Sci (drums), and Reggie Washington (bass). In collaboration with choreographer Amy Hall Garner, the motown project reimagines Motor City poetics in a study of desire and infatuation only soul and opera embodied by one chanteuse could endure.
