"Bent But Not Broken aims to be the community and artistic summit that will make visible—and audible—the works of Black voices.”
—Arreon A. Harley-Emerson, Founder
The BBNB Youth Honor Choir Experience is open to any student in grades 7-12. This low-cost, non-auditioned, high-quality experience includes two days of exciting music-making, concert performances, and community building!
Bent But Not Broken — the first and only of its kind — is a four-day music conference elevating the musical contributions and accomplishments of Black vocal artists across time and genres. Now in its third year, BBNB 3.0 offers interest sessions, immersion choirs, panel discussions, honor choirs, and performances. This year, conference attendees will have the opportunity to focus on the interlocking concepts of self-work, homework, and hard work through sessions led by internationally acclaimed scholars and musicians.
