Triumph Over Adversity Festival: Davóne Tines

A cornerstone of the Philharmonic Society’s programming, the Triumph Over Adversity Festival is a free, multi-day series of concerts and educational and community engagement offerings advocating for social change on and beyond classical music’s stages.

Bass-baritone Davóne Tines leads the Triumph Over Adversity Festival at OCMA on February 21.  Through recontextualized Bach arias, Caroline Shaw’s Mass, and religious ritual, Davóne Tines invites listeners to explore human existence and spirituality in his Mass No. 1. Woven into this performance are arrangements of spirituals by Tyshawn Sorey, Moses Hogan, and Margaret Bonds, as well as Julius Eastman’s powerful a cappella work, Prelude to The Holy Presence of Joan d’Arc.
