Freedom - A Juneteenth Celebration
Premiered on June 19, 2026 - Myron's at the smith center
Thank you to all who joined me at The Smith Center for Freedom – A Juneteenth Celebration! The June 19 event was a vibrant concert experience that blended music, movement and the power of story to explore freedom in all its forms.
The show celebrated resilience, identity, collective joy, and the meaning behind the historically celebrated day of emancipation and liberation of African American people while honoring the journey from struggle to strength, and featured music alongside dance, percussion and spoken word in a richly layered experience.
Moving through spirituals, jazz, Broadway, soul and contemporary favorites, the show presented an emotional arc that carried the audience from reflection to renewal. Informed by the personal connection of my Liberian roots and West African ancestry, the program was both deeply personal and powerfully universal, culminating in a heart-pounding, exhilarating evening of music that celebrated freedom, joy and the brilliance of the human spirit.
As many of you know, my concert themes focus on unity, human empowerment and the transformative power of music. I am so proud that this new work is now a part of my concert repertoire, and I hope to do it again!
