An upcoming series of concerts by the Grammy Award-winning Brooklyn Youth Chorus with the intriguing title of “Silent Voices: If You Listen,” is fast becoming the talk of the borough’s artistic community because of its bold mixture of art and politics.
The concerts, part of a multimedia, multicomposer and multiyear series, will take place on April 27 and 28 at National Sawdust at 80 North 6th St. in Williamsburg.
“Silent Voices: If You Listen,” features the work of female composers who collaborated with the Brooklyn Youth Chorus members to present music that confronts racism, sexism, economic disparity, immigration and the environment.
