SUMMARY:Project STEP
DESCRIPTION:Experience the extraordinary talent of Project STEP’s young musicians! This nationally acclaimed program is helping to reshape Boston’s classical music environment by reflecting the racial and ethnic diversities of its surrounding communities. Join us for an inspiring performance and be part of their journey toward a more inclusive\, diverse musical future. \n“[Project STEP] is an educational gem…”\n– BSO Violinist Victor Romanul for Strings magazine \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nProject STEP is a national award-winning music program that offers the very best classical music education for young students in Boston and surrounding areas. Not only does Project STEP’s programs harbor a creative and safe learning environment\, they advocate for a future where the classical music profession reflects the racial and ethnic diversities of our surrounding communities. Project STEP amplifies the stories and voices of young musicians of color\, providing space within the greater Boston community for their talent to be recognized. Project STEP students inspire us all to be better and to do more\, and your support is the catalyst for their success. \nWhile many educational programs in New England offer music training for children\, they do not match Project STEP’s comprehensive package of high-quality long-term training\, support services\, and scholarships intended specifically for children from backgrounds underrepresented in classical music. Our students are able to break through socio-economic barriers to become excellent musicians\, creative and confident students\, and successful young adults. Spending up to 12 years in Project STEP\, our students are challenged to achieve and maintain high levels of musicianship. The perseverance\, social and leadership skills\, self-discipline\, confidence\, problem solving skills\, and strong work ethic they develop in the process prove to be invaluable in their future musical and non-musical pursuits. As students in Project STEP\, our students gain deep skills\, as well as learning and career opportunities that make them role models and mentors in their families and communities. \nDID YOU KNOW: \nAfrican American and Black musicians account for only 1.2% of our nation’s orchestras and Latinx musicians make up only 1.6%\, according to the League of American Orchestras (2016).\nProject STEP has been advocating for equity and inclusion in the arts and classical music field for 40 years.\n100 % of Project STEP graduates have gone on to college or conservatory.\nApproximately 60% of Project STEP students go into the music profession. \nTickets: Free\, reservations encouraged.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Crys Matthews
DESCRIPTION:Hailed as “the next Woody Guthrie\,” Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-making. Returning to Rockport with her Black History Month program\, she blends Americana\, jazz and blues into a bold\, complex performance steeped in traditional melodies and punctuated by honest\, original lyrics. \n“rising folk music star” -Ann Powers\, NPR\n“Hopeful\, impassioned” – American Songwriter \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nAlready being hailed as “the next Woody Guthrie\,” Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers. A powerful lyricist whose songs of compassionate dissent reflect her lived experience as what she lightheartedly calls “the poster-child for intersectionality\,” Justin Hiltner of Bluegrass Situation called Matthews’s gift “a reminder of what beauty can occur when we bridge those divides.” She is made for these times and\, with the release of her new\, hope-fueled\, love-filled social justice album Changemakers\, Matthews hopes to take her place alongside some of her heroes in the world of social-justice music like Sweet Honey in the Rock and Holly Near. Of Matthews\, ASCAP VP & Creative Director Eric Philbrook says\, “By wrapping honest emotions around her socially conscious messages and dynamically delivering them with a warm heart and a strong voice\, she lifts our spirits just when we need it most in these troubled times. \n”Matthews began performing in 2010\, but cemented her acclaim at Lincoln Center as the 2017 New Song Music and Performance Competition grand prize winner. That year she also released two new projects—her album of thoughtful songs on love and life called The Imagineers\, and her EP called Battle Hymn for an Army of Lovers\, which tackles social justice themes. Matthews also won the People’s Music Network’s Social Justice Songs contest at the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance. Loyal fans quickly followed as Matthews racked up performances at large music festivals and prestigious venues across the country including the Sundance Film Festival\, Kerrville Folk Festival\, and locally at venues like The Birchmere\, TheHamilton\, Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center\, and Jammin’ Java. In her TedTalk about difficult conversations called “Sing\, Don’t Shout—An Alternative Approach” Matthews spoke about being born and raised in a small town in southeastern NorthCarolina by an A.M.E.preacher\, and how she witnessed the power of music from an early age. A former drum major and classically-trained clarinetist turned folk singer\, Matthews is using her voice to answer Dr. Martin Luther King’s call to be “a drum major for justice.” \n“I believe in hope\,” Matthews said. “As a social-justice songwriter\, it is my duty to keep breathing that hope and encouragement into the people who listen to my music.” And\, from the title track to the last track\, Changemakers does just that all while tackling some heavy topics like immigration\, the opioid crisis\, Black Lives Matter\, and gun safety to name a few.“ Ani DiFranco said\, “People used to make records as in a record of an event\,” said Matthews\, “so I hope that these songs will serve as a time capsule\, a record of the events of the last four years and what it was like to live through them.” Crys Matthews’s thoughtful\, realistic and emotional songs speak to the voice of our generation and remind us why music indeed soothes the soul. \n“A passionate and powerful blend of infectious Americana melodies and folky instrumentation\, Matthews delivers her honest songwriting through a beautifully raw and unfiltered lens. Oozing soul\, her voice bleeds with emotion and gratitude\, while simple piano melodies and upbeat percussion fill you with appreciation and love for the people around us who fight for change.” — Ear Milk
