I Dream a World starts this week! Join NWS on a tour through interwar Europe to meet the Black musicians who transformed art and culture on both sides of the Atlantic. Over the course of two weeks, take a closer look at the pivotal moment in music that went on to shape early jazz and inspire composers like Ravel and Stravinsky.

This Festival is funded in part by the NWS Collaborations Fund and the NWS Fund for New Ventures.
