The performance will showcase a diverse program ranging from the American masters like Duke Ellington and Nina Simone to South African Xhosa hymns and Stevie Wonder, highlighting the healing power of music.

Vuyo Sotashe, known for his bright tenor voice that effortlessly transitions from sonorous depths to the full-bodied top of his impressive range, made his off-Broadway debut in The Public Theater's production of "Black Light."

Together, they promise a performance filled with hushed vulnerability and a quiet invocation of community in these turbulent times.
