12. Head To The World Trade Center For a Performance From The Unsung Collective
For the upcoming summer season, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, in collaboration with Westfield and other community partners, has planned a series of festivities at the World Trade Center Campus. Visitors to the Center this summer will be able to enjoy exciting musical performances, food bazaars, art installations, and colorful lighting displays.
On June 19th, The Unsung Collective, a New York City-based choir and opera ensemble composed of people of color, will perform four pieces of classical music by Black composers. The performance will take place on the main floor of the Oculus from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. and will celebrate countless stories from the Black community. In addition, the Oculus will also be lit in red, black, and green. This will serve as a commemoration of Juneteenth Day in honor of its first year as an official state holiday in New York and New Jersey.
