Let music renew your spirit this spring. 🌸

RACE AND SONG is a powerful, engaging exploration of history and current events through the lens of race—told through music, storytelling, and lived experience.

Veteran musicians and longtime friends Pamela Means and Alastair Moock invite audiences into thoughtful, generous conversation about race, class, gender, and history. In musical dialogue, they share personal stories alongside historical and family photos, using song to open hearts and deepen understanding (because music always helps the medicine go down).

The program features traditional and contemporary songs including “Wade in the Water,” “Freight Train,” “It’s a Mighty Long Way,” “This Little Light of Mine,” and Moock’s “Be a Pain.” Together, the music and stories illuminate the artists’ perspectives while offering rich historical context and space for reflection.

Having toured nationally to theaters, libraries, houses of worship, schools, senior centers, and performing arts venues, Race and Song is known for meeting audiences where they are—creating meaningful, accessible, and human conversations about race.

This performance is part of the Voices Rising series presented by The Opening Doors Project.

Funded in part by the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the six New England state arts agencies.
