Hello all! My name is Jay Julio -- you might be familiar with my name from the 26 Groupmuses that I've had the great pleasure of playing and hosting, but I'm even more excited for this 27th, as I have the chance to both introduce my organization, Sound Off: Music for Bail (https://www.facebook.com/musicforbail) and my friends at the City Reliquary in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (http://www.cityreliquary.org/).

Briefly, Sound Off: Music for Bail combines classical music performances with presentations by individuals versed in the US prison-industrial complex and formerly incarcerated individuals in order to educate audiences and build inclusive communities.

The musical cast for this concert includes violinists Giancarlo Latta of the Argus Quartet (https://www.argusquartet.com/) and Njioma Grevious of the Abeo Quartet (https://www.abeoquartet.com/new-about), cellist Thapelo Masita of the Uhuru Quartet and a recent guest of the Met Museum's World Music Day Series (https://www.metmuseum.org/events/programs/met-live-arts/digital-premiere-thapelo-masita), and, of course, violist me!

We're coming as a string quartet to the beautiful City Reliquary to introduce music-lovers to our mission, to get the word out about the awesome museum that exists only a subway ride away, and to present some beautiful music, including what will be the first full recording of Dorothy Rudd Moore's "Modes". As a longtime New Yorker and cofounder of the Society of Black Composers, she's had her influence felt by generations of students and musicians in NYC, and it's high time we work to share her music with the world!

If that wasn't enough, we're looking forward to Brooklyn-based poet Kyle Carrero Lopez (https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/kyle-lopez) sharing both his own work and the seminal work of thinkers and writers on the topic of abolition, in all of its meanings, between movements.

We are so excited to see you all (virtually) and can't wait to play for you!

What's the music?
