Portuguese vocalist-composer Sara Serpa presents her new work Encounters and Collisions at City of Asylum’s Jazz and Poetry Month Festival, in Pittsburgh. A commission by Chamber Music America, drawing inspiration from Somali-Italian writer Igiaba Scego’s book My Home is Where I Am, Encounters & Collisions combines music and text to reflect on ideas of identity and migration influenced by Scego’s writings on the post-colonial relationships between African and Europe.

Featured Musicians: Sara Serpa (voice, composition); Ingrid Laubrock (saxophone); Angelica Sanchez (piano); and Chris Tordini (bass).
