The concert is part of the Malmgren Concert Series and is free and open to the public.

A reception with light refreshments will follow the performance.
Sweet Honey In The Rock is an ambassador for African American culture and music. The group has traveled the world sharing its soulful music and has been invited to perform at the White House and Carnegie Hall.
These legends of all-female a capella are making a rare stop in Syracuse as part of their 45th-anniverdary season. Their compelling and soulful music speaks to many important issues, including equality, empowerment and solidarity. Together, this dynamic combination showcases the group’s versatile musical talent.
The group’s five vocalists are Nitanju Bolade Casel, Aisha Kahlil, Carol Maillard, Rochelle Rice and Louise Robinson. They are accompanied by Romeir Mendez on upright acoustic and electric bass.
