DACAMERA will present “Monochromatic Light (Afterlight)” on March 28, 2025 as part of the Big Ears Festival.

The showcase will feature bass-baritone Davóne Tines alongside the St. John’s Cathedral Choir, violist Kim Kashkashian, percussionist Steven Schick, and pianist/celesta player Sarah Rothenberg. Tyshawn Sorey will conduct the eponymous work, which he composed and was co-commissioned by DACAMERA.

Sorey’s 70-minute work was selected as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Music in 2023; Sorey won the Pulitzer a year later for “Adagio (For Wadada Leo Smith”).

The work will get two performances at St. John Cathedral in Knoxville, TN, one at 3 p.m. and a latter at 8 p.m.
