The Sound of (Black) Music

Do, re, mi meets jazz, soul, and funk in this joyful show that sold out at New York’s Lincoln Center and made The New York Times’ top picks list. 

Viewed through a utopian, Afrofuturistic lens, this vibrant one-act concert reimagines the classic musical, featuring songs such as "Do-Re-Mi," "Edelweiss," and "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," all recast through a Black Roots music kaleidoscope. With beautiful voices, dazzling arrangements, and a powerful message of unity and resilience, this electrifying show celebrates the rich cultural heritage of Black music and its indelible impact on American popular culture. “One of the most titanically musical nights of my year” (The New York Times). 

Enjoy $20 tickets to celebrate 20 years of the Music Center!

Join us on March 18 for a community listening event at Eaton House. In this joyful and immersive gathering, Electric Root artist C. Anthony Bryant and Jono Gasparro will create a sense of community and connection by playing recordings of musical forebears who propelled the advancement of the human condition and inspired the arrangements for The Sound of (Black) Music.
