Description
Friday, February 21 • 4-4:45 PM • BKCM Concert Hall
All families are invited to join us in BKCM’s Concert Hall for a sing-along in honor of Black History Month! This afternoon will be an educational, multimedia and interactive experience that’s perfect for little kids ages 2-6 years old and their families.
Hosted by BKCM faculty member and Director of DEI Uton Onyejekwe and accompanied by BKCM faculty member and jazz pianist Lafayette Harris, Jr. the sing-along will allow children to explore the influence of prominent Black musicians and civil rights leaders in American history through song, dance and video. The sing-along will highlight the way Black artists have taken popular stories, songs, and even classroom concepts and creatively reimagined them. The event will also celebrate various musical genres of the Black American tradition, from jazz to R&B to hip hop.
Pay-As-You-Wish Ticketing
BKCM is committed to keeping our community events accessible to all, so we use a pay-as-you-wish model for this event. We suggest an $8 contribution per ticket, with all proceeds going to ensure that BKCM’s musical events remain open to all New Yorkers. Please pay whatever amount feels comfortable and within reach for you.
