The production is curated and performed by Grammy Award-winning soprano Karen Slack, who originated the role of Billie in Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones.

African Queens celebrates the history and legacy of seven extraordinary African queens—revered figures whose stories remain underrepresented in Western cultural narratives.
