Launched in summer 2017, the Resistance Revival Chorus (RRC) is a collective of more than 60 women who join together to breathe joy and song into the resistance, and to uplift and center women’s voices. The women who make up the Chorus range from Broadway performers, touring musicians, film and television actors, solo recording artists, and gospel singers to political activists. The chorus is led by Broadway singer and educator, Abena Koomson-Davis. The RRC prides itself on its diversity, representing a multitude of identities, professions, creative backgrounds, and activist causes. It takes inspiration from the great artist and activist, Harry Belafonte, who once said, “When the movement is strong, the music is strong.” In that spirit, the RRC hosts a series of regular musical events—Resistance Revival Nights—where the community gathers to rejuvenate our spirits and honor the protest songs that have historically been central to civil rights movements. We believe that art and culture are essential to changing hearts, minds, and history; and we commit to the principle that joy is in itself an act of resistance.
