Anyone who has ever been to the Schermerhorn Symphony Center knows the hall doesn\u2019t have a traditional orchestra pit, so figuring where to put a full orchestra, African drums and other indigenous instruments, thirty actors and dancers, over one hundred chorus members (from the Nashville Symphony chorus, the Lloyd Mallory Singers, the W. Crim Singers, Lane College, and Tennessee State University)\u2014as well as the massive sets and scrims\u2014was quite an undertaking that required full engagement by a large portion of the staff.

The orchestra also performed Young Person\u2019s Concerts with Hannibal, exploring differences between Tchaikovsky\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nutcracker Suite<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Duke Ellington\u2019s alternate version. There were quartet concerts featuring African American composers\u2019 works that were linked thematically to portions of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Jonah People<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> libretto\u2014links that Lokumbe also shared with the orchestra prior to the first rehearsal of his work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project also generated other partnerships, including a pop-up installation allowing time to reflect, converse, and collect prayers from the community on cotton fabric that was later dyed to reveal these collective prayers. In many of these programs, Lokumbe related the story of his great-great-grandmother, Asase, who was kidnapped from Africa and sold into slavery in Charleston, South Carolina. Asase\u2019s descendants would pass on the story that inspired a portion of the opera\u2014how she crawled toward her new enslaver on her belly while being whipped, begging in a language he didn\u2019t understand to purchase her children so they wouldn\u2019t be separated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the beginning of our first rehearsal Lokumbe told the orchestra how music had not only saved his life but also helped him realize he wanted to dedicate his life to music. He related a story about a piece he was learning in band class that he wanted to play for his mother, but on his way home from school with his instrument, some bullies beat him badly; it was that desire to play for his mother and to keep playing music that kept him going during the healing process. In the program notes, Lokumbe states: \u201c[Music] has had the ability to save my life. It saved my ancestors in the cotton field as well and gave them the strength to withstand the unrelenting sun. They withstood that by singing when it got too hot to even talk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The opera\u2014which is very accessible\u2014is constructed in \u201cveils\u201d rather than acts and is preceded by an overture by the orchestra and chorus. Lokumbe chose \u201cveil\u201d because \u201cit has to do with our spiritual development. Sometimes in life, and in our understanding, we can move one step forward and then digress fifteen steps behind. When the Creator lifts the veil from our consciousness, we never go back to where we were before the veil of understanding was lifted from our minds.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3982\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3982\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3982\" src=\"https:\/\/www.icsom.org\/senzasordino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230416_160905-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.icsom.org\/senzasordino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230416_160905-1024x498.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.icsom.org\/senzasordino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230416_160905-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.icsom.org\/senzasordino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230416_160905-768x373.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.icsom.org\/senzasordino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230416_160905-1536x747.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.icsom.org\/senzasordino\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20230416_160905.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3982\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hannibal Lokumbe bows at the conclusion of a performance of <i>The Jonah People <\/i><span class=\"photocredit\">Photo Credit: Laura Ross<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Jonah People<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> begins in an African village before the arrival of slave traders and missionaries. Harvest is cut short by the appearance of a slave trader, a missionary, and an African chief. The production likens the past four hundred years of African American history, comparing it to the story of Jonah and the whale: surviving the horrors of slavery and injustice and seeing the promise of the future in the past and present. Veils I and II revisit the passage of the slave ship, the slave auction, and the discovery that music can help the enslaved workers endure their labors in the fields. Veils III and IV relate attempts to escape slavery and their outcomes: the Haitian revolt, a performance at Minton\u2019s Playhouse jazz club in the 1950s with Lokumbe performing with the onstage band, and a scene in the Old Plateau Cemetery in Mobile, Alabama, which was founded by freed survivors of the last slave ship documented to reach the US from Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes life and art are synchronous. This project\u2014one that spent several seasons in the planning stages\u2014occurred just after the mass shooting at Covenant School, when Nashville was awash in calls for gun control. Just days later the super-majority Republican legislature chose to reprimand and expel Justin Jones and Justin Pearson\u2014two state house representatives from Tennessee\u2019s two largest cities, Nashville and Memphis (who were reappointed by their respective cities\u2019 metro councils days later).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a city, Nashville is steeped in cultural and social contributions by Black people. During the Civil War it was the home of the Union Army\u2019s US Colored Troops. It is the musical home of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, the TSU Aristocrat of Bands, and the National Museum of African American Music. And Nashville was home to civil rights leaders such as Diane Nash, founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) that helped coordinate integrating lunch counters; John Lewis, who participated in sit-ins and devised the code of conduct for the lunch counter activities while attending American Baptist Theological College; Freedom Riders Rip Patton and Kwame Lillard; and Z. Alexander Looby, an attorney and teacher at Fisk University who was a leader in the desegregation of Nashville schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The musicians of the Nashville Symphony were proud to partner in such an important project and hope the message and the work will survive and thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 13\u201316, 2023, the Nashville Symphony performed a monumental work by Hannibal Lokumbe, The Jonah People: A Legacy of Struggle and Triumph, which was influenced by family history passed down from his great-great-grandmother.
