10-26-23 The Steele's Jevetta Steele talks about The Get Out show at the Minnesota Orchestra with Glen Golden on the mid day show
Description
On Friday, October 27, at 7 p.m., the Minnesota Orchestra will perform the original
soundtrack of the Academy Award-winning film Get Out while the film plays on a screen
above the stage. The concert will take place at Orchestra Hall in downtown Minneapolis
and there are a limited number of tickets remaining;
American composer Michael Abels created the soundtrack for Get Out, which earned the
2018 Black Reel Award for Outstanding Original Score. Abels describes the score as
“gospel horror.” Accompanying the Orchestra will be the sibling vocalist group The
Steeles, who will perform the vocal portion of Abels’ score, including the main title,
Sikiliza Kwa Wahenga (Swahili for “listen to the ancestors”); and
The Steeles have collaborated many times with the Minnesota Orchestra: in 2016, they
performed a tribute to Prince at the Minnesota Vikings’ first-ever game at U.S. Bank
Stadium; they also collaborated with the Orchestra and trumpeter Charles Lazarus for a
program titled Our Love Is Here to Stay; earlier in 2023, Jevetta Steele performed in the
Orchestra’s first-ever Juneteenth concert.
