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.
What is KMOJCast?
Select programming from KMOJ's airwaves and community voices. Since first going “on the air” in 1976, KMOJ-89.9-FM continues its legacy as the community-oriented station located in Minneapolis, Minnesota airing a predominantly urban adult contemporary format.
“KMOJ’s Community Viewpoint” is one way the station achieves its mission of engaging, supporting and empowering Communities of Color to elevate the way of life of the people of its community and to challenge social and economic disparities, and the persistent consequences of historic racism.
The station call letters, “KMOJ” were inspired by the Swahili word “UMOJA” which means “Unity.” http://kmojfm.com/
