Build a House tells the story of an enslaved family that will not be moved, and the music that sustains them. Giddens will be reading the book and performing this month: a community outreach book reading at The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on October 22, and at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum on October 13.
In addition to the book release, Giddens’ fall includes key concerts as a Carnegie Hall Perspectives Artist for the 2022–23 season, including a duo performance with Turrisi in Weill Recital Hall on October 15 and with Our Native Daughters in Stern Auditorium on November 4.
Her appearances continue at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on November 12 as part of the Rock My Soul festival; and the LA Opera debut of Omar on October 22. Omar was created by Giddens with composer Michael Abels (Get Out). It was inspired by the autobiographical writings of Omar Ibn-Said (1770–1864), a Muslim scholar forcibly taken from his native Senegal and enslaved in North and South Carolina. Omar will be performed by five more top opera companies in the US over the next two years. You can watch her discuss the piece on CBS Sunday Morning.
Giddens has also scored music for Questlove’s new film Descendants coming out this month. She performed with Paul Simon at Newport Folk Festival, and at the Grammy Salute to the Songs of Paul Simon, which was taped earlier this year and will air on CBS this fall. Black Lucy and the Bard, the Nashville Ballet production scored by Giddens, recently aired on PBS’ Great Performances and was deemed “marvelous television” by the Wall Street Journal. Giddens was named the Artistic Director of the Silkroad Ensemble and spoke about her work with PBS Newshour. She is the Music Director for the 2023 Ojai Music Festival.

DAVÓNE TINES & THE TRUTH’s “LET IT SHINE” is the first song from their new work ROBESOИ. In ROBESOИ, which premieres June 27 (preview June 26) at NYC’s Little Island, Davóne Tines grapples with the legacy of a hero. Exploding the musical repertoire of Paul Robeson, Tines and his band THE TRUTH take us on a trip from the stage of Carnegie Hall to the floor of a Moscow hotel room, in an attempt to understand an icon not through aspiring to his monumentality, but through connecting to his vulnerability. The members of THE TRUTH are pianist John Bitoy and sound artist Khari Lucas. Details of the forthcoming ROBESOИ album, Tines’ solo recording debut, will be announced soon.
MESTIZX, Bolivian-born singer and multimedia performer Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti and Chicago expat jazz drummer Frank Rosaly's debut full-length album as co-composers, arrangers, and musicians, is out now. Partners in both marriage and art, the Amsterdam-based duo dove deep into the sounds of their respective ancestral roots in Bolivia, Brazil, and Puerto Rico to create this deeply personal meditation on decolonization and the defiant power of ritual and protest. Also out today is a video for the album track "TURBULÊNCIA."
