The Music Center at Strathmore

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!
