A radically diverse, radically interdisciplinary and radically BLACK
concert experience in honour of NEC alumna Coretta Scott-King. NEC’s
Black Student Union has an annual tradition of honoring Mrs. Coretta
Scott-King through various programming throughout the month of
February. This year part of that programming will include a tribute
event titled "Continuation of a Dream: The Dream Reimagined...”, a
celebration of Black history and music in a multi-disciplinary concert
experience featuring music, dance, art, and spoken word.
The performance will be radically diverse, radically
interdisciplinary, and radically BLACK. We hope that attendees of the
event leave with a disrupted understanding of what a music
conservatory is and what a space of creating art should be in today's
America—diverse, safe, experimental, and exciting. We will have
student performances across all disciplines within NEC as well as
collaborations with students outside of the school.
This evening will feature student performers as well as Boston Poet
Laureate Porsha Olayiwola. Porsha is a writer, performer, educator and
curator who uses afro-futurism and surrealism to examine historical
and current issues in the Black, woman, and queer diasporas.
Join us as we celebrate the legacy of Mrs. Scott-King as well as the
African Diaspora.
Free and open to the Public.
