Join us at the KCA on Tuesday, March 4, at 7:00 PM for a free concert featuring the incredible Jonathan Woody!

One of America’s most intriguing and thoughtful singers, bass-baritone Jonathan Woody presents a powerful program inspired by the life and music of Charles Ignatius Sancho—an 18th-century composer, writer, abolitionist, and the first Black man to vote in Britain.

The evening will also feature music from 17th- and 18th-century composers, Woody’s own compositions, and a stunning performance by members of the Music of the Baroque Orchestra.

We are excited to have Bradley bring her work, Antifragility, to Struggle and Resilience here at the KCA this Saturday, March 1 at 7pm .

Antifragility explores the internal journey of building endurance as we recover from experiences of failure. These moments often leave us at a crossroad of decision. We can either give up, which creates a fragile sense of  determination that bears no real grit within us, or we adapt.

Join us Saturday for this monumental event celebrating the contributions of Latina and Black women to the arts.
