Lift Us Up: The Remix

Lift Us Up: The Remix comes to Gallery X in New Bedford on Saturday, April 4, at 1 p.m. Admission is free, though RSVPs are encouraged.

Spoken word artists Iva Brito, Hendrick Hernandez-Resto, Maia Livramento and Gabriel Johnson take the stage alongside musicians from the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra and Malian drummer Sidy Maiga — a pairing that promises something genuinely unexpected.

Building on an ongoing celebration of African Americans and other communities of color, the program weaves poetry and music into something that feels both rooted and alive.

Expect an afternoon that moves; spoken word and symphonic sound woven together, honoring where we’ve been while making space for what’s next.

Presented in partnership with the New Bedford Historical Society and the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra.
