New Awakenings III, the third installment of the series, promises to be an assortment of collaborators and will center on the large-scale works of Duke Ellington. The first half will feature Ellington's ballet The River. Music from Ellington's Sacred Concerts will comprise the second half, which will bring together a big band, gospel jazz choir, narration, and tap dancing. Students from the School of Music, Department of Dance, and community members will come together for this special event, under the direction of Dr. Barrington Coleman.
