Listening Hours with Yaw Agyeman: In the Company of Singers

On Thursday, August 6, from 5 PM - 8 PM, we invite you to share space with us for Listening Hours with Yaw Agyeman in A Listening Space, where he'll present "In the Company of Singers," a special session sharing the artists whose voices have profoundly pushed his own.

From Donny Hathaway to Robert Plant, Yaw will spin songs by the vocalists who have expanded his musical imagination. Artists who stoked his curiosity about singing, challenged his understanding of what the human voice could do, and who continue to inspire his vocal pursuits and creative process.
Beneath the voices are a community of listeners, arrangers, musicians, engineers, and producers who helped that voice become what we remember. The selections honor not only the singers, but the aural architecture surrounding them—the people whose care made these songs possible.

Please reserve your spot as space is limited.
