For the month of May, reimagine space and the cosmos with an evening of Afrofuturistic music selections from the Afro House Concert Series. In the great beyond of space resides Kojo Astronaut and his ensemble. Their offering consists of protest music written through an Afrofuturistic lens. Led by pianist and composer Scott Patterson, the music featured includes songs from Patterson’s extensive catalogue of cosmic grooves. His music, expressed through voice, sound design and instrumentation, is a blend of classical, soul and rock music that is futuristic, emotive and luxuriant. This performance is about love, liberation and the ways in which we navigate our relationship to our planet, our solar system and beyond. Afro House, is a Baltimore-based art house focused on creating transformative, disruptive, and emotive music.
