— Semyon Bychkov, Chief Conductor and Music Director

Gramophone Editor Martin Cullingford said, “His legacy lies not just in a remarkable recording catalogue, but in the fact that there are works of music cherished by so many largely thanks to his advocacy, and that there are audience members who might never have been drawn to classical music in the first place were it not for his belief that everyone has the potential to be so.”

Davóne Tines' debut solo recording, "ROBESON," to be released by Nonesuch Records on September 13! Read the full press release, and pre-order here: https://conta.cc/4bLh3xD.

Tines comments on the project: “This album is my most personal artistic statement to date. I’ve endeavored to compare and contrast my journey as an artist with that of my artistic ancestor and hero, Paul Robeson, the unparalleled singer, actor, and activist. Standing on his beliefs of egality for the disenfranchised led to governmental and public attacks that almost ended his life. This album is the fever dream of the universal journey to battle internal and external persecution in order to find one’s self and decide what you need to say the most now that you’ve survived.”
