A Beautiful Symphony is a public art exhibit exploring the importance of the Downs Field stage to the continual flourishing of baseball in Texas. The historical dance performed by Negro League baseball players on the Downs Field stage is magnified and ushered into the forefront in this series. Due to the strides made by those Negro League players, A Beautiful Symphony not only celebrates the legacy of past players, but uplifts the narratives of Huston-Tillotson baseball team of today, adding to the orchestra of sound. The last layer this series explores, without which there would be no tomorrow, are the future generations of players who, as a result of the groundwork laid down by Negro League players in Texas, are able to imagine their role in the sport, no matter their gender, race, sexuality, or class.

A Beautiful Symphony is part of a partnership between Six Square—Austin's Black Cultural District, Forklift Danceworks, and the City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department. The project is supported in part by St. David's Foundation and the Austin Parks Foundation.
