Bernice Johnson Reagon & Toshi Reagon in Concert

The McCormack Endowed Visiting Artist-Scholar Residency at the Arthur Zankel Music Center at Skidmore College features Bernice Johnson Reagon and Toshi Reagon in Concert. This culturally enriching and uplifting performance is inspired by a powerful voice for freedom and justice in American music. Bernice Johnson Reagon, scholar, singer/songleader, and activist for over half a century, has been a profound contributor to African American and American culture. Born in south-west Georgia, her singing style and traditional repertoire are grounded in her experiences in church, high school, and political activism. Toshi Reagon, singer, composer, musician producer, founder, and leader of her own ensemble, Toshi Reagon and Big Lovely, has been described as "a one-woman celebration of all that's dynamic, progressive and uplifting in American music."
