A longtime Neighborhood Arts favorite and 2016 Artist-in-Residence with the Boston Police Department, multi-instrumentalist (erhu/violin) and composer Shaw Pong Liu returns this season with Code Listen 3.0, a musical collaboration that brings together mothers and teens who have lost a loved one to homicide, community social service and civic organizations, and Boston Police Officers. This special performance features Jason Palmer (jazz trumpet), Ashleigh Gordon (viola) and musicians of A Far Cry, with theatre direction by Pascale Florestal.
Together, the ensemble co-creates and performs a powerful music and narrative piece that encourages healing and dialogue on critical issues: gun violence, racial justice, and law enforcement practices, including original music by Liu.
Code Listen 3.0 uses music and stories to engage a citywide conversation on violence, racism, and police practices with public music-memorial-dialogue events during Homicide Survivor Awareness Month. Photo Memorial posters honoring over 70 loved ones lost to homicide will be displayed during the event.
