Other Minds presents Daniel Bernard Roumain performing
A Civil Rights Reader for Strings, Laptop & DJ
with Del Sol String Quartet and special guest DJ Scientific

Hip-hop meets the string quartet as Other Minds presents an evening
of cutting edge music-making with charismatic Haitian-American
composer and classical violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain performing A
Civil Rights Reader for Strings, Laptop & DJ in concert with the Del
Sol String Quartet and DJ Scientific. The one-night-only concert of
Roumain's string quartets, performed together for the first time, is
presented by Other Minds in association with the Eugene and Elinor
Friend Center for the Arts and Sozo Media. The event is followed by a
discussion onstage with Roumain and Charles Amirkhanian, Executive &
Artistic Director of Other Minds.

Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) is a pioneer in new musical forms who
marries the instrumentation of string quartet with electric violin,
laptop, and hip-hop turntablist. The Del Sol String Quartet reunite
with Roumain, whose String Quartet No. 4 they premiered in a
spellbinding performance at the 11th Other Minds Music Festival in
March 2005. This first-ever performance of four of Roumain's string
quartets, A Civil Rights Reader, celebrates iconic figures of
American Civil Rights to whom he dedicates each piece: Malcolm X,
Martin Luther King, Jr., Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., and Maya Angelou.
