Featuring Boston City Singers

Race and Song was born in 2020 out of a deep bond and nearly 30-year friendship between veteran musicians and storytelling troubadours Reggie Harris and Alastair Moock. Together in musical conversation, the two musicians from different backgrounds explore complex issues of race, class, gender, and history. They frame their lived experiences through music for a program that’s as entertaining as it is educational.  

The young vocalists of Boston City Singers join Harris and Moock onstage, raising their voices as part of this powerful, essential conversation in song. 

“Reggie Harris is part of the solution. His marvelous music, his hard-earned wisdom, and his loving presence lift up any room he enters. Reggie reaches across all boundaries and makes strangers into friends. Give yourself and your community the gift of a transformative visit with Reggie Harris.”

Rabbi Jonathan Kligler: Teacher, Leader, Musician, Lev Shalem Institute, Woodstock, NY

“Alastair Moock is 'one of the town’s best and most adventurous songwriters.'”
