History’s Persistent Voice is a multimedia ethnographic anthology envisioned by curator and GRAMMY Award-winning singer Julia Bullock. The program’s focus is on the influence of pre-Emancipation voices across generations, emphasizing that era’s poetic musical traditions while centering the multifaceted identities of the Black American experience, realized through art. These works are given new life through Bullock’s powerhouse vocal renditions, far-ranging connective research, and a quintet of newly commissioned compositions crafted by an esteemed roster of American women of color that features Jessie Montgomery, Tania León, Allison Loggins-Hull, Carolyn Yarnell, and Pamela Z. Additional collaborators include the fellow GRAMMY Award-winning conductor Christian Reif and the Tony Award-winning designer and immersive visual artist Hana S. Kim. Previously seen at The Met Museum and the San Francisco Symphony, this evening represents the ever-evolving presentation’s Lincoln Center debut.
Tickets to this performance are pay-what-you-can, with a recommended price of $35. Registration is required. Click here to learn more and to register for your ticket.
