Starting in 2022, Chicago-born, New Jersey-based flutist/composer Allison Loggins-Hull became the Cleveland Orchestra’s Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellow, a three-year appointment now in its second season. Included in that program are compositions about Cleveland history, chamber music concerts and workshops with students.
She brings a fresh outlook to music with interests that span from symphonic and chamber music, film scores and electronic compositions and she often works with African-American cultural themes. Last year, she led a flute ensemble backing a performance by Lizzo (herself a flutist) at the Met Gala.
This spring, she’s curating a series of intimate performances, called the In Community Chamber Concert Series, in collaboration with three community organizations.
The second in the series is called “Faith,” taking place at the Fatima Family Center Wednesday April 24. It will feature members of the Cleveland Orchestra with the Fatima Family Center Adult Gospel Choir and noted operatic soprano Laquita Mitchell, who has performed with opera companies and orchestras across the country.
The program includes works entirely by current working composers: Andrea Clearfield’s Ha-Galgal, Damien Sneed’s Elegy, Jason Moran’s Cane and Loggin-Hull’s Shine, as well as works for Fatima Choir.
It’s free and open to all, and no tickets or reservations are required.
