Basil King (whose newest book is on the MHP fall 2015 list) will participate in the the Next Wave Festival at BAM in the premiere of Black Mountain Songs , November 20-23.  

       Seven young composers have made pieces for choral singing inspired by artists associated with Black Mountain College: Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Buckminster Fuller, and others. The Brooklyn Youth Chorus will perform in this multimedia presentation along with dance, film projections, and Basil King on stage reading excerpts from Fielding Dawson and his own work referring to BMC.  Both Basil King and Fielding Dawson will be both represented in a small group show of BMC-associated artists in the Harvey lobby.
