Between 1972 and 1976, Stevie Wonder released five albums that changed the course of popular music: Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness' First Finale, and Songs in the Key of Life. Affirming the unparalleled genius expressed in this unprecedented sequence, PoetWarrior Productions and the Black Rock Coalition present Stevie: A Life in the Key of Songs, a three-night celebration.

The BRC Orchestra, an all-star collective of premier musicians and world-renowned guests, performs those five masterpiece albums in their entirety over the course of three nights. Directed by PoetWarrior founder/CEO and BRC Director of Operations Darrell M.
