Our Concert + Conversation Series and Educational Programs for all ages are available for booking at theaters, schools, congregations, community spaces, and civic-minded businesses and organizations in New England and beyond.
We frequently partner with educational initiatives, voting and civil rights groups, and antiracism organizations like our own. We have extensive experience with finding and writing grants and, in some cases, may be able to help you find funding to cover some or all of the cost of our programs. We’d love to bring our music and conversation to your community!
Over our three years of programming, we’ve built deep relationships with many of the artists we’ve presented in concert. Some of those artists have since become regular partners who are now available for co-bookings, both in our Concert + Conversation Series and our Education programs. If you’re interested in booking a show with us, we can help guide you towards the right artists for your program!
