About the concert

Racism is not an opinion, racism is a crime! ›The Passion of Octavius Catto‹ by Uri Caine recounts the story of the civil rights activist murdered in 1871 in a masterpiece that ranges from gospel and jazz to classical and avantgarde. A concert with a powerful message. The DSO speaks out against the far-right!
