The Program: Soulful Evolution with Cinematic Strings
Experience a journey through high-energy grooves and cinematic arrangements with this special collaboration:

Brooklyn Saint + Strings: The electrifying duo of vocalist Shareef Keyes and drummer Emanuel Harrold joins forces with a live string ensemble for an evening that pushes the boundaries of modern soul and jazz.

A Bold New Sound: Keyes’ bold yet melodic vocals, steeped in the spirit of Marvin Gaye, James Brown, and Janelle Monáe, meet Harrold’s polyrhythmic drive, inspired by jazz and hip-hop innovators. Together, they create a blend of R&B, funk, and hip hop with lush string arrangements.

The Performers: Brooklyn Saint
This exceptional evening features Brooklyn Saint, the dynamic duo of vocalist Shareef Keyes and drummer Emanuel Harrold, along with a supporting string ensemble.

WCHOF Music Director Brian Owens has curated this exceptional program in collaboration with Emanuel Harrold and Shareef Keyes, arranging pieces that reflect the WCHOF's mission to celebrate the intersection of art, culture, and high strategy. The ensemble will bring inventive and vibrant depth to these musical selections.

Thematic Connection: Strategy in Sound
The strategic nature of chess, which demands both calculated planning and creative improvisation, finds a stunning parallel in the music of Brooklyn Saint. Like a master chess player who anticipates the opponent's moves while maintaining artistic flair, this ensemble blends disparate genres—R&B's structure, funk's rhythmic surprise, and soul's emotional depth—into a cohesive, winning sound. It’s an evening where every note is a carefully considered, yet passionately delivered move
