This summer, The Multi-Story Orchestra comes to Portsmouth for the first time to close out Ports Fest! We’ll be joining forces with students from the local community to perform our own unique version of Stay on It – a joyous, punchy piece of music by the ‘brazen and brilliant’ Julius Eastman. As an openly gay Black man working in the 1970s, composer Julius Eastman often created music that took on radical political viewpoints, shaped by his own experiences of oppression. His music sounds unlike anything we’ve ever heard. Stay on It is a semi-improvised piece, so no performance is ever the same – this is your one and only chance to hear our version, created by musicians from The Multi-Story Orchestra and local young musicians.
