Description

FLY, The Musical Revue
Written by Professor Deborah Adero Ferguson
Composed by Professor Jeremy Millan
Presented by Shining Talent, Education and Recreation

FLY, The Musical Revue was inspired by Virginia Hamilton's research and stories about a folklore of magical flying people who overcome oppression and adversity through the power of flight. FLY: The Musical Revue will combine folklore, history and original music of various genres featuring hard rock, country, classical, rap, jazz, blues and Afro-Caribbean beats. The audience will be fully engaged in the variety of music and will embark upon a musical odyssey that connects society with cross-cultural music genres. Humorous and poignant lyrics will bring smiles, tears, and gutwrenching laughter.

FLY, The Musical Revue will feature eight singers and a storyteller from the Nubian Theater Company who will guide the audience through a journey of education and historical insight. Audiences will be invited to actively participate in the revue with call-and-response songs and hand-clapping.

This new work of art was written by Professor Deborah Adero Ferguson and composed by Professor Jeremy Millan to encourage a deeper understanding of the effects of oral narrative and music on society's development.
