Edendale Up Close presents Judicanti Responsura , Saturday November 23, 2024 at 12:00 noon in the Edendale Library community room Join us Saturday November 23rd at noon-1 pm for our next Edendale Up Close performance – Judicanti Responsura , featuring tubaist William Roper and percussionist Joseph Mitchell. The ensemble was formed in 1984 and is focused on music of our time, with a special emphasis on compositions that incorporate African American improvisational traditions. The ensemble's repertoire includes works by its members, commissioned works, jazz standards and contemporary classical compositions. Judicanti Responsura 's members were raised in Los Angeles' African American neighborhoods and were politicized by the experience. Much of their music reflects that politicalization in its inspiration, titles, content, wardrobe and performance venues. The ensemble welcomes special guest violist Cassia Streb. They will present premieres and repertoire works by Mitchell,
