Songs in Flight, a new cycle by the composer Shawn Okpebholo, with texts chosen by Tsitsi Ella Jaji, a poet and associate professor at Duke University, had its premiere at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium on Thursday.With an opening set by the singer-songwriter Rhiannon Giddens, the concert found uncommon power in the humble format of folk and art songs.
