Events

For this week's Gathering, the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice welcomes Alisa Amador. Praised by NPR’s Bob Boilen as a “powerful voice whose tender performance commands attention and fosters connection,” Amador made history in 2022 with the first-ever Spanish language song to win the prestigious Tiny Desk Contest. Matt Stevens Ensemble will open.

This week's Gathering will be hosted by the Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice's founder, Terri Lyne Carrington, and will open with performances by her Tuesday ensembles. 

Kris Davis, associate program director of creative development at the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, will lead this week's Gathering, featuring her Monday ensembles.

Join us for a dynamic roundtable where we will explore the role of Black music in the Black feminist intellectual tradition. The program will allow us to ponder questions such as: what does Black Feminism sound like? How do we hear, listen, and create as Black feminists? How have Black women been creating feminist soundscapes that continue to move us? How does looking at the concept of cool through a Black feminist lens shift our understanding of sound?
