Songs of the Living

Come sing with us this fall! Join Toshi Reagon, Alsarah and the Nubatones, Taína Asili, Morley and Chris Bruce “The Bruces”, New York Arabic Chorus, DJ Bill Coleman, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Nona Hendryx, Baba Israel, Yasmine Lee, Legacy Women, Miguel Luciano, Nile Nights, Lizzie No, The Soapbox Presents, DJ Leecy T and more as we collectively learn to sing songs of resistance and resilience together.

Over four weeks, Soho Rep will partner with an incredible coalition of artistic and civic centers across all five boroughs of New York City including Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, Bronxlandia, National Sawdust, Flushing Town Hall, Another World, Weeksville Heritage Center, Queens Public Library, Lincoln Center, El Puente, BAM and more to produce eleven evenings of music and fellowship.

There is a song for everything! Songs are sacred, songs are history, songs are games, songs are recipes, songs are a technology for shaping our world. Not only will the first ten evenings each have their own themes – from Sacred songs, to Hip Hop, Disco, and songs for young people – we will have evenings inclusive of Spanish, Arabic and American Sign Language. The eleventh night will gather all of the threads from the previous evenings into a single powerful congregation around these Songs of the Living.
