Juba - Trevor Weston

Born out of the desire to foster cultural curiosity, Castle of our Skins is an ensemble dedicated to celebrating Black artistry through music. In December 2019, they marked their seventh season by bringing the music of Trevor Weston to the Longy School of Music of Bard College. This is a live performance as part of their "By Fire and Sword" portrait concert featuring Trevor Weston's chamber music.

TREVOR WESTON
"I have always gravitated to music that mesmerizes and entrances its listeners by creating a sense of suspended reality. Music can be a portal to a parallel existence where our experiences, thoughts, and ideas are communicated through the more impactful abstract nature of aural stimuli. Music allows us to retreat from the mundane to reflect more profoundly on our existence. My intention is to create music that is transformative regardless of instrumentation or style."
