Mark Wilson presents an evening of his own compositions exploring his interest in integrating the musical fingerprints of kora music from Gambia, theorbo music from 17th century Italy, American hip hop from the 90’s and the French Baroque, along with canons and tango. All of this through the lens of living in a time of racial reconciliation, the too-soon death of a friend, the success of another beating cancer, while living a life of music, teaching, playing and listening.  

It is an evening of compositions and collaborations by Mark Hilliard Wilson with flutist Leanna Keith, oboist Bhavani Kotha, clarinetist Bev Setzer, bassoonist Kate MacKenzie, tenor and trumpet player Peter Nelson King, soprano Teresa Tam, and the Seattle Guitar Orchestra.
