The BRC was formed in the fall of 1985 by Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid, artist rep Konda Mason and the late Village Voice writer, musician Greg Tate.

We’re so happy to be building on this relationship again. In celebration of the partnership the BRC had with The Kitchen in our early years (the first-ever BRC Orchestra show was our Apartheid Concert there on Feb 1, 1986), we were asked to be honorary co-chairs for their gala event this year in remembrance of our late co-founder Greg Tate. The Tate Family really came through and managed to hook up a one-night-only performance with Greg’s long-time friends and collaborator Mikel Mwalimu-Banks (Women In Love, Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber) and Harriet Tubman (featuring Melvin Gibbs, JT Lewis, and Brandon Ross). It was beautiful. We are thankful.
