Loss at Under the Radar Festival, Harlem NYC, January 2025

Loss, the multimedia performance in which I acted as composer, music director and pianist/keyboardist in Toronto in June 2023, will return from January 9-11, 2025 at the Apollo Theater, Harlem, New York City, presented by the Apollo in partnership with the Under the Radar Festival. It’s an intimate, multigenerational family story about grief and healing, written by Ian Kamau and his father Roger McTair (1943-2024), and shared live on stage with music, video, sound and lighting design. Created by and for people of African/Caribbean descent, it’s one of the most personally resonant projects I’ve been connected with so far. I’m excited to reunite with Ian and the creative team including my fellow musicians, and to have my performance debut in the US at this historic location and venue.
