Prototype Festival: Funeral Doom Spiritual
Free
M Lamar & Hunter Hunt-Hendrix – Funeral Doom Spiritual
In this gripping song cycle, the vocalist-pianist M. Lamar pairs with Liturgy’s Hunter Hunt-Hendrix to explore the tradition of African-American spirituals, mixing ideas from folk, opera, and metal.
Over the course of nine festivals, PROTO has transitioned from potential to essential. In January of 2013, PROTOTYPE soared onto the scene with five genre-defying pieces and has since produced and presented 63 innovative works and welcomed 2,034 artists through our proverbial doors. As our 10th anniversary approaches, we’re eager to celebrate all that PROTOTYPE has contributed to the field. Join us as we look back at art from the Netherlands to New York to South Africa and beyond to reflect on the cutting-edge work PROTOTYPE has championed and where our esteemed artists will lead us in the next ten years.
