SUMMARY:Race & Song: A Musical Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Reggie Harris | Alastair Moock \nTogether in musical conversation\, the duo explores complex issues of race\, class\, gender and history\, framing their lived experiences through music for a program that’s as entertaining as it is educational. \n“dashing and extraordinary” – The Strad Magazine \nRace and Song was born in 2020 out of a deep bond and nearly 30-year friendship between veteran musicians and storytelling troubadours Reggie Harris and Alastair Moock. Together in musical conversation\, the two explore complex issues of race\, class\, gender\, and history\, framing their lived experiences through music for a program that’s as entertaining as it is educational. One of Alastair and Reggie’s greatest strengths as a duo is their ability to meet audiences where they are\, adapting their conversation and musical repertoire for a wide range of ages and experiences. \nReggie and Alastair bring Race and Song to dozens of schools each year\, from elementary to high school. Through their interactive\, assembly-style program\, they explore what it means to live in one’s skin\, how to talk more productively about race\, and how our country’s past informs the present. Improvising together on songs like “Wade in the Water\,” “This Little Light of Mine\,” and original compositions\, the duo demonstrate the unique ability of music to express sorrow\, joy\, creativity\, and determination… A must-see program for anyone interested in booking race-conscious work for young people. \nFor adults who want to deepen their understanding of antiracism and get more comfortable talking about difficult subjects\, Race and Song is an invitation to listen\, learn\, and engage. Reggie and Alastair have performed together at theaters\, arts centers\, houses of worship\, libraries\, senior centers\, and universities nationwide\, modeling what productive interracial conversations about race can look like while swapping tunes and inviting audience participation in a welcoming and non-judgmental atmosphere. \nReggie Harris has traveled the world for over 40 years as a songwriter\, storyteller and lecturer using music and the spoken word to make an impact in education\, social and racial justice\, the environment\, faith and in human and civil rights. He is a teaching artist in the John F Kennedy Center’s CETA program\, a Woodrow Wilson Scholar\, and the Director of Music Education for the Living Legacy Project\, leading civil rights pilgrimages throughout the South. In 2021\, he received a lifetime Spirit of Folk Award from Folk Alliance International. \nAlastair Moock is an award-winning singer-songwriter who has toured throughout the U.S.\, Europe\, and Asia\, performing at renowned events like the Newport Folk Festival and sharing the stage with acts like Arlo Guthrie\, Taj Mahal\, and Greg Brown. He’s also a Grammy nominated children’s musician\, social justice educator for all ages\, and co-founder of two antiracist music organizations\, The Opening Doors Project and Family Music Forward. The Boston Globe calls him “one of the town’s best and most adventurous songwriters” and The Washington Post says “every song is a gem.” \nConcert attendees are invited to a post-concert meet and greet with the artists. \nFree\, Reservations Encouraged
