92NY’s Center for Children and Family provides an exceptional array of programs designed to support children at every stage of their development.
One of today’s most acclaimed and in-demand sopranos, Sphinx Medal of Excellence winner Karen Slack joins us with the New York premiere of her compelling multimedia work African Queens.
The original work features new art songs exploring the legacy of seven powerful African queens through history who were revered as rulers but under-celebrated in the western world, and weaves its narrative through music by some of today’s leading African and American composers: Damien Geter, Jessie Montgomery, Carlos Simon, and others.
Hailed for the rich beauty of her voice, her charismatic performances, and her passionate activism, Slack has captivated audiences in Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones, Tyler Perry’s film For Colored Girls, and much more. Don’t miss her first 92NY appearance in this extraordinary new work of undertold stories.
Online streaming also available for 72 hours following the performance.
