Nu Deco Ensemble featuring Masego

Called a "chamber orchestra for the 21st century" by The New York Times, Nu Deco Ensemble's performances have featured collaborations with artists including Wyclef Jean, Larkin Poe, Macy Gray, Jacob Collier, and Ben Folds; reimagined orchestral suites of the music of Daft Punk, Queen, Outkast, and Aretha Franklin; and new music from some of today's most exciting living composers.

Join Nu Deco for a unique night of new and reimagined music featuring rising mezzo-soprano superstar, J’Nai Bridges, on the world premiere of Chris Rogerson’s multimedia work “Sacred Earth,” which also features an original video by the Emmy-nominated director and National Geographic photographer Keith Ladzinski. This program will also debut a symphonic reimagination of the iconic artist Ray Charles, while ringing in the holiday spirit with a Nu Deco original, Nu Nutcracker. We also welcome to the stage a dynamic collaboration with singer, songwriter, rapper, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist, Masego.

The performance and premiere of Sacred Earth is presented in partnership with YoungArts.
