BPL Presents invites you to join Toshi Reagon for a community choir rehearsal in Brooklyn at the Central Library’s Dweck Auditorium. 

Following your rehearsal in Brooklyn, you might then be invited to sing with Toshi Reagon in her upcoming concert at Lincoln Center's Open House on Sunday, October 27, 2024, at 6:30pm at David Geffen Hall. Be part of the all-volunteer Songs of the Living Community Choir and perform on stage in the iconic, newly renovated Wu Tsai Theater. We invite voices of all ages and backgrounds to come together for an intergenerational choir. Rehearsals will be hosted at locations across NYC in mid-October leading up to the performance day. To learn more about the performance, visit https://www.lincolncenter.org/openhouse

Songs Of the Living is an all-volunteer community choir created by Toshi Reagon to bring community members together in song. It is inspired by Octavia E. Butler’s opera The Parable of the Sower and the teachings of Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon who taught Toshi as a child that singing activates the vibrations in our bodies and makes our bodies the home no one can take away from you.
