Between 1972 and 1976, Stevie Wonder released five albums that changed the course of popular music: Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness' First Finale, and Songs in the Key of Life. Affirming the unparalleled genius expressed in this unprecedented sequence, PoetWarrior Productions and the Black Rock Coalition present Stevie: A Life in the Key of Songs, a three-night celebration.

The BRC Orchestra, an all-star collective of premier musicians and world-renowned guests, performs those five masterpiece albums in their entirety over the course of three nights. Directed by PoetWarrior founder/CEO and BRC Director of Operations Darrell M. McNeil, with Willie Mae Rock Camp executive director LaFrae Sci, the Orchestra will mix faithful renditions of Wonder’s original songs with bold, contemporary re-imaginings. The set list also includes songs Wonder composed for other artists during the same period, underscoring his versatility and unstoppable imagination.

Among the major artists joining the BRC players onstage are keyboardist, composer, and bandleader Ray Angry; Living Colour vocalist Corey Glover and guitarist Vernon Reid; singer-songwriter and guitarist David Ryan Harris; The Family Stand founders Sandra St. Victor and Peter Lord; harmonica virtuoso Grégoire Maret; and jazz guitar great Mark Whitfield.
