Orchestrated
Orchestrated charts the unknown story of the first full-time African American symphony orchestra, in the context of a century-long Black struggle for an equal place in classical music. It follows Kyle P. Waker, an emerging pianist, podcaster, and BLM activist with an unflinching sense of purpose, and Alex Walker, a British conductor, on a quest to uncover the lost traces of this audacious project, to connect to living witnesses, and to understand why this important chapter of our shared history has been excluded from the history books.
