Welcome to the Brooklyn Recital Series

Join us for the inaugural Brooklyn Recital Series, presented by Siloam Presbyterian Church in collaboration with the Foundation for Classical and African Art Music, Inc.

Our first program, Across Cultures: Heard and Unheard Voices, brings together countertenor Andrew Egbuchiem, soprano Jasmine Thomas, and pianist Yukimi Song for an afternoon of music that crosses cultures, traditions, and generations. The program celebrates both familiar treasures and voices that have too often gone unheard, creating an intimate musical experience designed for longtime classical music lovers and new listeners alike.

The Brooklyn Recital Series is about more than performance. It is about bringing people together through exceptional music in welcoming community spaces and creating opportunities to listen, discover, and connect.

Saturday, November 14, 2026 | 4:00 PM
Siloam Presbyterian Church
260 Jefferson Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11216

Come as you are, bring a friend, and experience an afternoon of beautiful music and community.

Free admission. Donations are welcome and encouraged.
