Following his triumphant performance here last season, The Alden is proud to welcome back pianist and composer Barron Ryan for a special event featuring the expanded three-part movement of a work originally commissioned by Chamber Music Tulsa for the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. Inspired by eyewitness accounts of the massacre, Ryan’s gorgeous piano, violin and cello trio aims to bring hope to a dark time in history. Running time: Approximately 90 minutes.

“I didn’t imagine it would heal Tulsa’s every wound, but I thought it a good place to start.” — Barron Ryan
