This year's Word.Sound.Power. is honoring the power of the poets in an unapologetic celebration of those who give voice to the voiceless through hip-hop and spoken word. This year’s theme, POWER, marks the third and final chapter of our three-year Word. Sound. Power. programming cycle. In the spirit of the conscious rap movement of the late 80s and mid-90s, artist-activists and musical disruptors come together on the BAM stage to uplift and celebrate the political force of the art form. Join us as we raise our voices and our microphones to challenge the status quo through the power of awe-inspiring, invincible flow.

MARCH 12 — MAY 4 2025

For half a century, Leonard Bernstein and Herbert von Karajan were the world's most celebrated figures in classical music and the fiercest of rivals.

Their influence transcended music into popular culture, politics, and almost every facet of the modern landscape. Late in their lives these titans of classical music unexpectedly crossed paths one last time.

Inspired by true events, Last Call  takes us to Vienna as both men seek to find common ground through their music and their lives over one last drink.
