Questlove partners with Dallas Symphony Orchestra for “A Visual Journey through Hip Hop”

A unique partnership is coming to the Metroplex in April as Questlove, musician and member of The Roots will partner with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra to narrate the history of hip hop and the impact it has had on American culture, the orchestra announced via news release. The 5-time Grammy Award-winning, and currently Oscar-nominated musician will take patrons on “A Visual Journey through Hip Hop” through various harmonies and melodies alongside the orchestra.
Two of Dallas’ most prolific creators, Jeremy Biggers and JM Rizzi will also join Questlove in providing an experience where people will vividly experience artistic expression visually through stories and imagery of music.
Local artists will also have the opportunity to express their skills; artists Eric Trich and Alda Boyd will collaborate with Biggers and Rizzi to bring their art to life in a projection-mapped 3D environment, while composer Sylvester “Sly” Onyejiaka will curate and create a masterful score alongside Questlove.
