Rock My Soul: Celebrating Black Women Artists in Collaboration and Community
Inspired by the friendship between composers Florence Price and Margaret Bonds, whose mutual support helped them break down barriers to have their music heard in the classical music world of the early 20th century, Rock My Soul celebrates both historical and present-day collaborations between Black women artists. Curated by soprano Julia Bullock and featuring performances by Chaka Khan and Rhiannon Giddens, Rock My Soul shines a light on the power of creative community.
