About Songs of Black Folk

On Sunday, June 22, 2025, Songs of Black Folk returns to the iconic McCaw Hall at The Seattle Center, bringing an even more dynamic and immersive experience to the stage.

​​

This year’s production will continue to honor the rich musical traditions that originated on the African continent, endured the horrors of slavery, and became a source of strength and resistance. From the rise of Negro Spirituals to the evolution of blues, jazz, gospel, R&B, hip-hop, and spoken word, Songs of Black Folk showcases how Black music has shaped and influenced culture worldwide.

​

More than a performance, Songs of Black Folk 2025 is a testament to the resilience of a people who have turned struggle into song. Through music, we connect the fight for freedom, justice, and dignity with the shared struggles of marginalized communities, reminding us all of the enduring power of art to inspire change.
