This event brings together several differently abled Black artists for an evening of new, multidisciplinary micro-commissions inspired by Beethoven’s resilience to create in spite of his health challenges. Drawing from the composer’s personal journal and his lateperiod "Archduke" Trio, these artists celebrate how art can change the world "in spite of."
