Summer Happenings
Tanglewood Debut: Leila’s “United Underdog,” originally commissioned and premièred pianist by Min Kwon and featured on NPR and NBC. Leila Adu-Gilmore wrote about how she composed United Underdog amid the pandemic and the racial upheaval of the last several years. “I was moved to honor those people who work hard and struggle daily — together yet apart — for the common good of all of us,” she said on her website. Leila’s piece will be performed by a Tanglewood fellow, alongside works by Miya Masaoka, Trevor Weston, Valerie Coleman, Nathalie Joachim, Tania León and Steven Mackey at Seiji Ozawa Hall, Lenox/Stockbridge, MA
