1208 E 10th St
1208 East 10th Street Dallas, TX 75203Inspired by the rich tradition of the Black spiritual—a moment when a voice rises above the noise to express a deep truth—ARIA is an enduring performance using classical and contemporary music with the powerful storytelling of Black vernacular photography. This journey takes us through a diverse tapestry of musical genres, from the majestic strains of operatic arias to the syncopated rhythms of jazz, the heartfelt cries of the blues, and the transcendent harmonies of gospel. Each selection is thoughtfully chosen to stir contemplation and introspection. Each photograph captures a defining moment in history, a visual testament to the music that invites you to delve into the emotions and narratives behind each frame.
ARIA invites us to pause and reflect.
NOTE: This is an outdoor event with light refreshments to keep us cool—please dress accordingly.
