Education Program

Race and Song: A Musical Conversation

Artist

Reggie Harris & Alastair Moock

Grades

K-12 + higher ed

Format

Assembly

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 explore complex issues of race, class, gender, and history, framing their lived experiences through music for a program that’s as entertaining as it is educational.


Improvising together on songs like “Wade in the Water,” “This Little Light of Mine,” and original compositions, the duo demonstrate the unique ability of music to express sorrow, joy, creativity, and determination.


One of Alastair and Reggie’s greatest strengths is their ability to meet audiences where they are, adapting their conversation and musical repertoire for a wide range of ages and experiences, from elementary schoolers through adults.

Schools can deepen their exploration by pairing a "Race and Song" performance with a "Talking Race" classroom workshop, where students can interact with the performers in a more intimate, conversational way.
