Black Voices in Cabaret and Cabaret Connexion celebrate the DuSable Black History Museum & Education Center exhibit of Paris in Black and our own return from France.

Join us for an exclusive guided tour of the exhibit Paris in Black: Internationalism and the Black Renaissance at 4:30 pm. Our concert begins at 6 pm in the Skylight Gallery surrounded by exhibit montages and a Parisian café setting.

The DuSable museum is our nation’s oldest independent Black history museum, and a Smithsonian Institution affiliate, founded in 1961. Black Voices in Cabaret was founded in 2020 to spotlight the immense talent of African-American performers in cabaret. The Chicago Paris Cabaret Connexion plans its 8th international exchange coming to Chicago in November 2026. Working In Concert is the parent organization for both cabaret initiatives.
