Our Past Productions
2022 WELCOMES YOU
The SONGS OF BLACK FOLK welcomes you to their first celebration of Black History and Music that has paved the way for the sounds of today. Join us on recapping our journey exploring the sounds of the struggle that turned into the harmonies of freedom at the Songs of Black Folk 2022.
2024 Music of Resistance & Hope
SONGS OF BLACK FOLK returned even bigger, bolder, and grander for its 2024 production on Sunday evening June 16th, at 7:00 pm at the iconic McCaw Hall at The Seattle Center.​ Once again, we presented a music tradition that began on the African continent and was transported to the Americas, via slave ships, and took root in the daily sufferings of an enslaved Black people who chose to survive and who fought to be free.

2025 Music of Resistance & Hope
SONGS OF BLACK FOLK returned with its 2025 production, once again celebrating the rich musical traditions of the African diaspora. This year, we honored the sounds born from the struggles and triumphs of an enslaved Black people—music that grew into spirituals, blues, jazz, gospel, and the modern genres that continue to inspire the world and define the spirit of Juneteenth in the Pacific Northwest.
