About the event
Ahead of his performance at Constellation, Chicago, alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins is joined by Camille Bacon for a conversation orbiting around the notion of musical composition and performance as a channel for the divine, specifically as it relates to his latest studio album, 'The 7th Hand.' The album derives its title from a question steeped in Biblical symbolism: If the number 6 represents the extent of human possibility, Wilkins wondered what it would mean — how it would sound — to invoke divine intervention and allow that seventh element to possess his quartet. With this in mind, Wilkins and Bacon will discuss music as a redemptive and relevational medium, the importance of divine discipline, and how daily moments of worship take form in their respective creative pursuits.
