ABOUT THE PROGRAM

MIND THE GAP: “Reflections on Beauty” is an original work of art developed by PUBLIQuartet in 2019 with funding from New Music USA. This dynamic and thought-provoking piece encompasses varying genres, styles, and eras of music and literature reimagined and recomposed through group improvisation and composition that chronicle the life of the first female African-American self-made millionaire in America, Madam C.J. Walker.

**The Residency by PUBLIQuartet, organized in partnership with Detroit Institute of Art; Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History; and WRCJ 90.9 FM, has been made possible with support from Chamber Music America through its Residency Endowment Fund.

PUBLIQuartet is the 2020 recipient of Chamber Music America’s Guarneri String Quartet Residency Grant. Their participation in the residency has been made possible by a generous gift from the Sewell Family Foundation.
