Kory Caudill + Wordsmith: A Concert for the Human Family
September 27 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Baltimore’s own hip-hop star WORDSMITH and Nashville-based pianist-producer Kory Caudill team up for A Concert for the Human Family. This fusion concert, developed in conjunction with The Episcopal Church’s vision for Becoming Beloved Community, aims to advance racial reconciliation and healing within — and beyond — the Church. During this special event, venture into a sonic realm that effortlessly blends jazz, hip-hop, and bluegrass musical styles with profound narratives designed to catalyze meaningful dialogues on reconciliation, healing, and justice within the tapestry of our diverse communities. Indeed, here in Baltimore and beyond, the power of these songs and narratives will help to break down the walls separating us and unite us in bonds of love.
- Wordsmith, spoken word artist
- Kory Caudill, pianist & leader

About the venue
Emmanuel Episcopal Church is located in the heart of Baltimore’s historic Mt. Vernon neighborhood. Its tremendous stone tower at the corner of Cathedral and W. Read Streets serves as a beacon in this community, and the nave’s warm acoustic and gentle ambiance contribute to creating an ideal environment in which to hear choral and chamber music.
In 2022, the church building underwent a $3.2M transformation to make each space in its physical plant fully accessible to all; included in this project was an elevator, increased ramp access, and new restroom facilities.
