Presenting

We Are The Change We Are Looking For

Sunday, January 18, 2pm

Anna María Kellen Concert Hall - Third Street Music School

Family concert, all are welcome

Juneteenth LP (Juneteenth Legacy Project) returns to Third Street to remind us all of the words of Rev. Dr. King; that in times of great strife and great struggle, we always seem to be mesmerized by uncertainty, caught up in the grip of despair.  This concert is a potent reminder that we have always been the only heroes that we ever needed, that there is hope in connection and community, resistance in joyful song and dance.  As always, these concerts are collaborative, so come ready to sing, shout and bear witness; we, all, every one of us.

Sean David Cunningham, violin II

Patrick Page, viola

Eric Cooper, cello

About Juneteenth LP

Juneteenth LP (Juneteenth Legacy Project) is a musical collective based in NYC whose mission is to share the music of the African Diaspora through the unique lens of Black classically trained musicians with a focus on access, outreach and community building through music. Continually pushing boundaries in their musical and lecture offerings, Juneteenth LP brings together unexpected classical music and brilliantly crafted arrangements of more popular repertoire for a refreshing take on live performances and educational music experiences.

In our performances, we give cultural context and historical background to each work, so that audience members can experience a deeper connection to, and appreciation of, the music. The work of Juneteenth LP has always been multi-faceted, but most significantly, its performances feature the kind of genre-defying programming that invites non-traditional audiences into traditional concert spaces and traditional audiences into non-traditional concert spaces.  Everyone should be, and is, welcome.  

“Representation doesn’t just matter, it is essential for transforming our landscape into something more equitable and just for all the young musical  creatives of color who might not even know what they want to become simply because they haven’t seen it yet.”   —  Dr. Nnenna Ogwo
