This genre-spanning concert will explore the musical soul of the United States. Cellist and historian Alex Prizgintas brings a bold twist to beloved anthems and protest songs using his amplified cello, loop station, and effects pedals borrowed from the heyday of 1960s rock. The performance blends musical history and storytelling, threading together hymns, jazz, folk, and rock in a powerful tribute to the freedoms that both define and challenge American democracy.
