Gentrification in Portland and the city’s redlining past go under the microscope in Darrell Grant’s jazz chamber opera, Sanctuaries, a new work commissioned and produced by Third Angle New Music. 

Blending elements of jazz, spoken word, and devised theatre, Sanctuaries aims to speak to the experience of displaced residents of color in Portland’s historically Black Albina district. Sanctuaries debuts at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum Pavilion on September 7th, with two additional performances on September 8th and 9th, all beginning at 8:30 pm.

This world premiere, jazz chamber opera is composed by critically acclaimed jazz pianist Darrell Grant (who ‘Gramophone’ has called “a composer of substance”), with libretto by two-time National Poetry Slam Individual Champion and Oregon Poet Laureate Anis Mojgani and stage direction by LA-based opera director Alexander Gedeon.
