Red Clay and Mississippi Delta is a captivating musical journey showcasing the soulful and bluesy melodies of iconic artist and composer Valerie Coleman. Coleman’s work is performed by Anna Pem (bassoon), Eleni Georgiadis (horn), Jillian Reed (flute), Kira Shiner (oboe), and Collin Lewis (clarinet) from Bard College. This chamber music piece takes the audience on a mesmerizing exploration of cultural and musical influences.
The film beautifully captures the essence of Coleman’s composition, providing a visually stunning backdrop that complements the music’s emotional depth. The performances by the Bard College students are nothing short of spectacular, showcasing their exceptional talent and dedication to their craft.
Overall, Red Clay and Mississippi Delta is a mesmerizing and thought-provoking film that will leave audiences inspired and uplifted. It is a testament to the power of music to touch our souls and connect us to our shared humanity.
I would give this production 5 out of 5 stars.
