Many of us imagine what it would be like to have super abilities. Using music, composer and gospel choir director Coleman explores how we can use our everyday abilities to be faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and leap tall buildings in a single bound! David is a Lecturer of Music and the Director of the Third Day Gospel Choir at Tufts University. He is also the Director of Choral Music at Dana Hall School in Wellesley. The BBC series, “First Person”, showcased David’s passion for gospel music and his success in attracting over 225 students of all faiths to participate in the Tufts choir. In 2014, David and members of the Tufts choir performed at the White House holiday celebration. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

About "The Roots of Jazz: American Voices:" Join Keith Lockhart and the Pops as they trace the development of Jazz from its New Orleans roots, to the music of Black American innovators like Scott Joplin, Father of the Blues W.C. Handy, and the great Stride pianist James P. Johnson, composer of “The Charleston.” Further along the path, the Pops will highlight the music of George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, and Benny Goodman, three great musicians who were instrumental in bringing jazz to a worldwide audience, and pay tribute to Modern Jazz pioneer Dave Brubeck as the musical world celebrates the centennial of his birth. It’s an American story of the quintessential American music. Newly Recorded for Spring 2021 Available June 10 – July 10 at bso.org/now. -- Follow us on all of our social channels!
