Second Season: "Breath, boom" and "Revolt"

Breath, Boom
Written by Kia Corthron
Directed by Jasmine Mitchell

This impressionistic, episodic play by UMD alumna Kia Corthron creates a voice for Black women in today’s society, portraying them as multidimensional, empowered and demanding of respect. Rather than seeing them thrive unrealistically against all odds, we see them crack and break, ultimately supporting each other to build agency and resistance.

Revolt
Written & Directed by Walker Green
Music Direction by Liezel Werner

Second Season: "Soundtrack" and "The Triumph of Horus"

Soundtrack
Written by Diallo Adams

In this original play about the struggles of a local record store to stay afloat, Adams explores how strong friendships help us deal with disappointment and unforeseen circumstances. The highs and lows of the story are echoed in music written by Adams, featuring a broad range of styles to represent the play’s dynamic shifts.

Voices Unheard: Celebrating Diverse Composers

Voices Unheard is a student-led music series dedicated to programming works by women composers and composers of color. It was recently awarded an M-Cubator Grant by the UMD School of Music to continue to grow. This fall, UMD School of Music students will be performing works by contemporary composers Diana Syrse, Jessie Montgomery, Leila Adu, Caroline Ahn, student composer Christen Holmes '22 and more. Please come out and support these talented musicians and this wonderful music!
