Flutronix, the forward-thinking musical duo comprised of Nathalie Joachim and Allison Loggins-Hull, presents Black Being, a four-movement song cycle for flutes, electronics, and chamber orchestra that explores and reclaims the black female experience.

Black Being features Grammy-nominated performer and composer Nathalie Joachim, who has been praised as “a fresh and invigorating cross-cultural voice” (The Nation), and performer, composer, and producer, Allison Loggins-Hull, called a “powerhouse” by The Washington Post, with the Chicago Sinfonietta under the direction of conductor Mei-Ann Chen.

Praised at its premiere as “the most stunning live performance” and named among the Top 10 Classical Music Events of 2021 by the Chicago Tribune, the work incorporates evocative poetry by North Carolina Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Green, revealing facets of the collaborators’ lives rarely shared within a classical-concert frame.
