BRAVE

Listen. Act. Unite. How can we be better friends, neighbors, and citizens in a world full of division? Hear from the Training and Intermediate Choir singers in an uplifting concert as they share how they find the courage to love themselves and use that strength to advocate for others. BRAVE, led in part by special Guest Artist Melanie DeMore, will be an afternoon full of joy, reflection, and community singing.

Melanie DeMore is a three-time Grammy-nominated singer/composer, choral conductor, music director, and vocal activist. She has directed numerous choral organizations across the U.S. and Canada and is a featured presenter of SpeakOut!, the Institute for Social and Cultural Change, and is the Master Teaching Artist for Music at UC Berkeley/CalPerformances. DeMore was a founding member of the Grammy-nominated ensemble Linda Tillery and the Cultural Heritage Choir and became music director for Obeah Opera by Nicole Brooks as part of the 2019 Luminato Festival. In addition to being an Opus Nuovo composer this season, she will be a guest performer at BCC’s BRAVE concert at Old South Church in Boston.
