Event Description:

Celebrating over 50 years of touring and three Grammy nominations, this versatile all-female African American a cappella ensemble SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCKĀ® features multi-part harmonies supported by an American Sign Language interpreter.

SWEET HONEY IN THE ROCKĀ® members express their history as Black women through song, dance and sign language. Their vibrant and ever relevant collective was founded on the triumvirate missions of empowerment, education and entertainment, with socially conscious music taking a stance on civil and human rights, spirituality and making our planet a better place for all.

The group's historic accomplishments include a commission from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Company to compose a 50th anniversary program as well as appearances in two PBS television specials celebrating their work on "American Masters." Current members include Carol Maillard, Louise Robinson, Nitanju Bolade Casel and Aisha Kahlil with feature musician Romeir Mendez on electric and upright acoustic bass.
