Convergence NY
June 7 to 11 | New York Capital Region Festival Week
June 29 to July 3 | Free Outdoor Concerts Across New York State
The 2023 American Music Festival: Convergence celebrates the latest in musical innovation, featuring an array of premieres and performances in exploration of Black American art forms. As part of a three-year collaborative project, Convergence brings together the Symphony, an array of performers and organizations from across the Capital Region, and nationally acclaimed artistic partners to engage in various Black artistic disciplines relating to the breadth of American culture, new music, and meaningful community-building work. Guests artists include our Convergence Curating Artists: Renowned jazz violinist Regina Carter, Afro-Caribbean Choreographer Adia Tamar Whitaker, and multidisciplinary poet, dancer and spoken-word artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph.
Funded in part with generous investment from the Carl E. Touhey Foundation, Convergence builds broad awareness of our contemporary world while working to expose and eliminate bias through artistic inquiry and musical creation.
