DTBK Presents: Pop Up Lunchtime Entertainment @ Brooklyn Commons with The Juneteenth Legacy Project

Performing artists create pop-up vignettes for the lunchtime crowd at Brooklyn Commons Park.

The Juneteenth Legacy Project (Juneteenth LP) is a musical collaborative based in NYC whose mission is to share the music of the African Diaspora through the unique lens of Black classically trained musicians with a focus on access, outreach and community building through music. Continually pushing boundaries in their musical and lecture offerings, Juneteenth LP brings together unexpected classical music and brilliantly crafted arrangements of more popular repertoire for a refreshing take on live performances and educational music experiences. In 2022, their popular annual Juneteenth Celebration Concert at Joe’s Pub in downtown Manhattan will become a weeklong multi-concert event across the boroughs of New York. This bold effort is made possible by a 2022 Chamber Music America Artist Grant awarded to Founder and Artistic Director Nnenna Ogwo.
