Honoring History Through Music: Barron Ryan at TMBC Lincoln Center

New guest host Tracy Singleton welcomes pianist and QC Arts visiting resident Barron Ryan back to the Quad Cities. Known for blending classical training with contemporary influences — what he calls “classic meets cool” — Barron will spend the week performing in local schools and presenting public programs, including a concert at the TMBC Lincoln Center on Friday, Feb. 27. There, he will perform There Arises Light in the Darkness, a work he composed to commemorate the centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre — honoring an important and often overlooked moment in American history.
