The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum is proud to host the state premiere of a new oratorio by renowned jazz trumpeter Hannibal Lokumbe. Dear Mrs. Parks will be performed in the Museum's Texas Spirit Theater
Dear Mrs. Parks --commissioned, performed and recorded in 2009 by The Detroit Symphony Orchestra and now performed for the first time in Mr. Lokumbe's home state of Texas-- celebrates the life of Rosa Parks, the civil rights movement heroine. Incorporating musical traditions from blues, jazz, African, and gospel music, Dear Mrs. Parks follows three imaginary letters to Rosa Parks from three different voices in the civil rights movement - an activist, a martyr, and a beneficiary-- in a tightly orchestrated and inspirational composition. Mr. Lokumbe wrote both the score and the libretto. This one-night-only performance at The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum will include an ensemble of Texas artists, including a jazz quintet, choir and child soloists.
