Prism Quartet's 'Generate Music' Reflects Ties Between Black and Jewish Americans

In this broadcast concert Monday, (1/13 at 8 pm) the saxophone quartet performs works it commissioned to explore the musical and social relationship between Jewish and African-American Artists.

Prism Quartet's "Generate Music" project took its inspiration from the Nazi effort to ban the music of Jewish composers and American jazz and widened it to a broader scope to explore the relationship between Jewish and African-American composers, musicians, artists, populations and cultures. The quartet commissioned eight works, and this broadcast features the final concert result. Co-curators of the project - quartet member Matt Levy, and Helen Haynes, past Director of Exhibitions and Programs at the African-American Museum of Philadelphia - join David Osenberg as co-hosts for this concert broadcast.

David Osenberg is WWFM Partnership Manager, WWFM Music Director, Afternoon Host, and Host of award-winning Cadenza.
