Via Juneteenth Houston -

Join us for a night of joy, remembrance, and honor as we unveil our first Black neighborhood quilt to the deeply moving Juneteenth concert that celebrates the depth of African American musical heritage through classical compositions by living legends, powerful spirituals, and uplifting gospel music and spoken word. Last year we partnered with the @communityartistscollective and the Jubilee Quilters to launch the Black Neighborhood Quilt Project.

Residents from Houston’s Black communities designed quilt panels/patches that paid homage to those communities. Over the past year these panels have been hand sewn to create a quilt that nearly 100sqft that will be unveiled to the world for the first time on Wednesday, June 3rd from 5:30pm-8:30pm.

In honor of this historic moment, @icoloridellopera a Black - woman founded opera guild here in Houston - will perform an immersive and experiential soul stirring concert that weaves together opera, spirituals, gospel, and classical music.

This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
