WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Wednesday, July 17, the Clark Art Institute continues its July Outdoor Concert Series with a performance by the Nathalie Joachim Trio. 

 

This year, the July Outdoor Concert Series celebrates the French Caribbean with some of the best musicians from Guadeloupe and Haiti. The free concert takes place at 6 pm on the Clark's Reflecting Pool Lawn.

 

According to a press release:

 

Grammy-nominated performer and composer Nathalie Joachim is a Haitian-American artist whose creative practice centers an authentic commitment to storytelling and human connectivity while advocating for social change and cultural awareness. Joachim is Assistant Professor of Composition at Princeton University and is regularly commissioned to write for orchestra, instrumental and vocal ensembles, dance, and interdisciplinary theater. Joachim's highly-anticipated sophomore album Ki moun ou ye—an intimate examination of ancestral connection and self—was co-released by Nonesuch Records and New Amsterdam Records in February 2024. In this performance, Joachim sings and plays the flute, joined by her bassist and percussionist.
