Black Genius Listening Sessions: What Does Black Genius Sound Like · New York · Dec 3, 2026

Presented in partnership with The Black Genius Foundation Inspired by the tradition of gathering together to experience music, Black Genius Listening Sessions are collaboratively generated musical journeys that invite audiences to dive deep into an artist's discography or curate live soundtracks around a shared theme. For this special edition at The Apollo, we will explore the concept of Black Genius what is it, what does it sound like, who are the artists that are emblematic of it, and what are the songs on its soundtrack? Hosted by a facilitator and featuring a live DJ, this session will bring together a dynamic panel to unpack these questions and discuss the songs that shape their personal Black Genius soundtracks. Attendees will also be invited to join the conversation, sharing their own song picks and reflections.
