Hued Songs: The Juneteenth Experience

June 14 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

The Juneteenth Experience is a groundbreaking annual celebration of our country’s national holiday, Juneteenth. This immersive event promises to captivate audiences with a powerful piece of concert theater. From soulful melodies to gospel rhythms and classical arrangements, the performance weaves together a powerful tapestry of sound, spoken word, and dance paying homage to Juneteenth’s spirit of liberation and freedom.

The pre-show festivities will feature a vibrant pop-up market spotlighting the works of local Black artisans and vendors. Part 1 of the evening will include the screenings of short films by talented local filmmakers delving into themes of Black liberation and Belonging. The main event will be a riveting interdisciplinary performance seamlessly melding spoken word, dance, music, and multimedia elements, promising an unforgettable 60-minute journey.

The Juneteenth Experience is part of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts’ Arts for Action: Black Voices initiative, presented by Baptist Health and JM Family Enterprises, Inc., which focuses on how the arts and artists can be a force for change in addressing critical issues of social justice and racial equity.
