This concert elevates and connects us as a human community by uplifting music as core to the African American struggle for freedom and justice. The concert’s artistic conductors guide listeners on a musical journey, embracing the shared musical culture that has functioned as both a tool of resistance and a source of hope for Black people and communities in opposition to centuries of racism and oppression, white supremacy, and their unrelenting assault on Black lives and bodies. This concert celebrates and centers on African American Spirituals and the diverse musical traditions that have creatively evolved from them: gospel music, jazz, R&B, hip hop, and more. Mayor Harrell, in collaboration with community churches and the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, presents a free concert celebrating the Juneteenth Federal holiday.
