Songs Of Protest! : Hudson Hall (Hudson, NY)
“Music has long been a source of comfort and courage for oppressed communities. Tonight’s songs—defiant, passionate, ironic—touch on some of the hot-button issues in today’s news. Latinx, African-Americans, Muslims, Jews, the LGBTQ community, people exiled from their own countries, and the earth itself all take an eloquent stand for equality, peace, rationality, and inclusion. The music ranges from Blitzstein and Joni Mitchell to Randy Newman and Mohammed Fairouz—a panorama of voices from around the world.”
