Solange has shared preview footage and images from her new four-act performance, In Service To Whom.The R&B artist shared clips of the headline performance from the inaugural Volume festival, hosted at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia in October 2023.The multimedia presentation was described as combination of “sonic meditations with performance-specific scenography and digital-visual archive projections” that integrates the artist’s “spirit in music, design, visual art, and cultural archive and preservation into one four-act performance”.The piece included a 10-piece ensemble and orchestral works composed by Solange between 2018 and 2023 (‘Villanelle For Times’, ‘God Rest Your’, ‘Bridge-s’, and ‘In Past Pupils and Smiles’), alongside her contemporary music.According the exhibition notes, In Service To Whom was inspired by the idea of rest, and “speaks to the artist’s reemergence into the world of everyday life following periods of personal incubation and self-revitalization at home”.A post shared by Solange (@solangeknowles)Solange shared on her Saint Heron creative hub that the compositions were “inspired by repetition, gospel vocal arrangements, minimalism, and the Black southern marching band music of football games frequented by the artist in her hometown of Houston, Texas”.The performance also debuted two original works – a duo tuba piece called ‘Not Necessarily In Arms Reach, Music for Two Tubas’ and a solo cello and double bass number titled ‘If the Promise is Large’.The full gallery of pictures can be viewed here.
