About this Event

For their fall 2025 season, DC’s Different Drummers Jazz Band presents “Songs of Social Change” featuring protest songs and music as social commentary. Selections range from protest tunes of the Civil Rights movement to feminist rallying cries, along with anti-war songs and queer anthems of today. This program paints a picture of the rich history of protest in the United States and beyond, highlighting the integral role that music, namely jazz, has played in our history.
