This event is part of our civic project Voices in Solidarity: Baltimore’s Black and Jewish Operatic History. Stay tuned over the coming weeks for more information about the performance, discussion, and site-based engagement that constitutes this multi-part exploration grounded in research, collaboration, and community partnership.

Voices in Solidarity is a place-based initiative focused on exploring the shared histories of Baltimore’s Black and Jewish communities through music and public discourse to encourage empathy and creative healing. The project is generously supported by State funds from the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority and grant funds from the Reginald F. Lewis Foundation and the David and Barbara B. Hirschhorn Foundation.
