Darwin's Meditation for The People of Lincoln
Having carved a reputation for himself as an innovative composer, performer, violinist, and band leader, Haitian-American artist Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) melds his classical music roots with his own cultural references and vibrant musical imagination. As a composer, his works range from orchestral scores and chamber pieces to music for film, the theater, modern dance, and electronica.

His latest orchestral work, making it s Dallas debut here at the AT&T Performing Arts Center, was commissioned by the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
Darwin's Meditation for The People of Lincoln is a work about Conversation, Imagination, Spirituality and Legacy, Grandly conceived, the work employs the expansiveness of an eighteen-piece chamber orchestra, the Meadows Chamber Orchestra directed by Jack Delaney, 4 soloists (violin, actor, singer and piano), and video, Darwin's Meditation for The People of Lincoln sculpts the sound of liberation, survival, and legacy in the image of two of its most tireless proponents. Using texts drawn from both Darwin and Lincoln, plus those of Obie Award-winning playwright Daniel Beaty, DBR creates a brilliantly imagined conversation between two historical giants-and a scintillating, spiritual, sonic vision of what it means to be free.
The Dallas debut of DBR is presented by TITAS in association with the AT&T Performing Arts Center.
