Sweet Honey in the Rock

50th Anniversary

Sweet Honey in the Rock

Ever vibrant, versatile and relevant, the African American vocal ensemble mark their 50th anniversary with a celebration that honours its storied past. 

Since its inception in 1973, Sweet Honey in the Rock has thrived as a performance ensemble founded on the missions of empowerment, education and entertainment. 

Their musical landscape embraces multiple genres – from gospel and blues to spoken word, crosses generations and addresses civil & human rights, women’s issues, gun violence, death, love, spirituality, children’s songs and so much more.

The ensemble's current line-up includes vocalists Carol Maillard, Louise Robinson, Aisha Kahlil, Nitanju Bolade Casel and Rochelle Rice, with Romeir Mendez on upright acoustic/electric bass.
