Sponsored by the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame, Pittsburgh native Kyle Abraham delves into identity and personal history in The Radio Show. Creating an abstract narrative around the loss of communication, he investigates the effects of the abrupt discontinuation of a Black radio station on a community and the lingering effects of Alzheimer’s and aphasia on a family. Abraham mixes a score with recordings of classic soul and hip-hop with contemporary classical compositions by Ryoji Ikeda and Alva Noto to create an eclectic score that evokes fond memories and a passion for what is lost.
