The BRC Orchestra, the Black Rock Coalition’s repertoire company, is joined by an all-star cast of musical luminaries including:
Fantastic Negrito
Nona Hendryx
Vernon Reid, Corey Glover, and Will Calhoun (Living Colour)
‘Captain’ Kirk Douglas (The Roots, Hundred Watt Heart)
Stew (The Negro Problem)
The Family Stand
Carl Hancock Rux
Toshi Reagon
And more… Ronnie Drayton, Sophia Ramos, Shelley Nicole, Kelsey Warren, Marvin Sewell and so on. The Black Rock Coalition remains the most relevant musical collective in popular music. The Metropolitan Museum of Art may not have been the ideal venue for a group of people that came to tear shit up, but it worked well enough. I would consider myself fortunate to see any one of these performers but I got to see them all at once. I can’t say enough, so I just won’t. I’m still floating a few inches off the ground.
