Roadwork brought the social power of music to the Millennium Stage through the spirit of its Sisterfire Festival with an intergenerational, multiracial, post-genre hour of womensound. This year’s showcase featured: Ysaye Barnwell — singer, composer, arranger and Sweet Honey In The Rock alum; Be Steadwell — vocalist, composer and director; Ariel Horowitz — violinist, composer, activist; and Yasmin Williams — acoustic fingerstyle guitarist and composer. In addition, we premiered the trailer for Signing The Songs: A Legacy.  Click here for more information on Signing the Songs.

Presented in collaboration with the Smithsonian Folklife Festival: Social Power of Music — with support from WPFW, Busboys and Poets and Levine Music.
