Solange Knowles is stretching her creative muscles. The singer-songwriter is headed to the Big Apple's ballet scene.
Solange -- the younger sister of Beyonce -- has been tapped by the New York City Ballet to compose an original score for a forthcoming ballet production, led by choreographer Gianna Reisen.
As the New York Times reports, Solange will arrange her composition to be performed by a chamber ensemble that includes several of the performance artist's past collaborators.
This exciting project makes Solange the first Black woman, as well as the second woman of color, to compose a score of a production by the New York City Ballet.
The production will premiere for an audience at the New York City Ballet's annual Fashion Gala, held on Sept. 28.
