Kyle P. Walker: Troubled Water

On the eve of Election Day 2018, WNYC gathered in The Greene Space to get inspired and find ways for citizens to volunteer and step up in their communities, on their own terms.
Pianist Kyle P. Walker, from The Dream Unfinished, joined us to perform Troubled Water by Margaret Bonds. The activist orchestra’s mission is to use classical music as a platform to engage audiences in dialogues surrounding social and racial justice.

As this demonstrates by example, the line between arranging and composing gets mighty thin. Bravo!
