Frederick Ballentine & Kunal Lahiry

Le ténor Frederick Ballentine, détenteur d’un Grammy award, et le pianiste Kunal Lahiry proposent Our people et en parlent ainsi : « Ce programme explore le parcours des Noirs et des communautés LGBT d'Amérique du Nord. Notre séparation du tout. Notre oppression constante. Nos amours et nos âmes perdues. Mais surtout notre résilience ».
