Co-Presented by Glide Memorial Church. In association with Awesöme Orchestra Collective and UnderCover.
Intersection returns to its roots at Glide Memorial Church in the Tenderloin -- the symbolic place of its birth -- to celebrate 50 years of art and community. The evening, co-presented with Glide, features works by poets, performers and musicians from the past five decades. Anchoring the program is Intersection CORE Member Awesöme Orchestra Collective under conductor David Möschler working in collaboration with Lyz Luke, director of Intersection CORE Member UnderCover Presents. Möschler and Luke have created a program that is a survey of the music that has been our collective soundtrack over the past fifty years, which also served as the backdrop to the unprecedented historical events that have transpired over the past five decades.
