    Inspired by the work and writing of  American Composer, conductor and Tufts University professor, TJ Anderson. Andersons Thomas Jefferson Minstrels was a commentary of  blackface minstrel performance at the expense of black agency. Almanac seeks to explore the central questions:  “What is the true price  of cultural and artistic agency  for the Black  American Artist?” and “How can we define ‘Black  Art’?” Told through the experience of three main characters, Almanac is  a vibrant, electrifying, and eclectic  score that travels through hip-hop,  soul and R&B  to big band  and folk.  Almanac  provides  an opportunity  to dissect  and make sense  of the past, while  simultaneously  looking forward to a reimagined  future.
