JASON SAMUELS SMITH

Award-winning tap dancer Jason Samuels Smith collaborates with renowned musician/singer/composer Owen “Fiidla” Brown to present an original composition of a highly anticipated musical response to the Award-winning film 12 Years A Slave. The piece was commissioned by The Charles & Joan Gross Family Foundation and debuted to a packed crowd at Lincoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium on Mardi Gras earlier this year. The work, entitled “Transformation: Rhythm’s Roots,” is a celebration of the instrumentation and the natural musical evolution that transpired alongside the African-American experience in America. All ages will enjoy this musical journey...Rhythm is what connects us after all!
