Palmer, “Upward”
Saturday, February 29, 2020 at 7:30 p.m.
In 2018, trumpeter/educator/composer Jason Palmer and
pianist/composer Kevin Harris interviewed a very
special group of Boston mothers who had lost their
children to gun violence. “Upward” is their
new multimedia presentation in which musicians
transcribe tones and melodic flow to these courageous
women’s words and stories, with the intent of honoring
and celebrating the legacy of their loved ones in
addition to bringing awareness to the need to end such
acts in our community.

his 2001 major label debut First Born
Second to his 2015 release In Another
Life, Bilal has proven to be one of music’s most
dynamic artists.
