John Wojciechowski Quartet

Jazz Showcase

A continuation of Dana Hall’s 2015 collaboration with Cheryl Lynn Bruce and Kerry James Marshall, this program reconvenes and commissions Hall and Bruce to further develop and restage the work. Hypocrisy of Justice explores inequities within systems and institutions, along with lived experiences of confinement, redemption, hope, and home. In addition to two performances, there will be a free day-long symposium on October 8.
