Award-winning vocalist, composer, and cultural worker Imani Uzuri leads the Mosaic Sacred Song Circle and PraiseHouse Dance Party, a curated celebration of healing, communal singing, and joyous movement. The whole community is invited to join in: bring your voice, your tambourines, and wear your dancing shoes! The very special guest DJ will be announced soon. Uzuri composes, performs, and creates interdisciplinary works for theater, experimental opera, ritual performance, chorale, chamber ensemble, sound-art, and film. These projects often deal with themes of ancestral memory, magical realism, liminality, Black American vernacular culture, spirituality, and landscape. Uzuri has been commissioned by Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, The Ford Foundation, Harvard Fromm Players, and Chamber Music of America. She has also performed at international venues and festivals including Park Avenue Armory, Moldejazz Festival, and Carnegie Hall. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.
