International touring artists participate in activities such as pre- and post-performance discussions, visits to K-12 schools and community organizations, and workshops with community members at the Green Music Center. Activities are designed to develop creative capacities, critical thinking skills, and encourage participants to investigate communal and personal values while building empathy for cultures and experiences outside of one’s own.
Additionally, we partner with schools and youth organizations to offer complimentary tickets to students in surrounding communities for select concerts.

Alphabet Rockers make music that makes change. This intergenerational group creates brave spaces to shape a more equitable world through hip hop, and inspires kids and families to stand up to hate and be their brave and beautiful selves.
The Green Music Center collaborated with the Alphabet Rockers to create a ~30-minute video for middle and high school students that includes performance videos and conversations with the artists about their work that embraces Black liberation, Queer liberation, Indigenous rights, immigrant rights, and intersectionality. While their music may skew toward a younger audience, we feel the content of this video conveys messages of inclusivity for students of all ages.
We are offering this video for free to schools through the current school year, and encourage teachers and administrators to preview it to consider the proper audience. You are also welcome to request access for your classes or schools now.
Please complete this form to indicate your interest, and we will contact you soon.
