The Solid Sound Collective will utilize the power of music to build hope and community, examine structural racism and poverty in St. Louis, and lift up the incredible local legacy of resistance to that inequity. Based on interviews with activists, organizers, and community elders, the newly commissioned music of the Solid Sound Collective will channel our audience's energy into the ongoing fight for social and economic justice in our town. The project will culminate in a live concert series in 2024, featuring new music from Anita Jackson, Alicia Revé, Ryan Marquez, Tim Moore, and Colin McLaughlin. The project will strengthen, support, and connect our city’s vibrant music scene and the local social and economic justice movement. The Solid Sound Collective seeks to inspire hope, build community, and advocate for social change.
