The ensemble has collaborated with various well-known artists, including Wu-Tang Clan, G-Eazy, Nas, Katy Perry, and Robert Glasper. Additionally, the band has appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, NPR’s Tiny Desk series, and global festivals. The Soul Rebels recently garnered national attention with the release of their acclaimed album, ‘Poetry In Motion.” They have also been featured on soundtracks for Universal Pictures’ “Girls Trip” and Disney’s “Haunted Mansion.”

KCA was created in 2006 to honor alumnus Max Kupferberg for his $10 million gift to Queens College in support of the arts. Since 1961, KCA (formerly Colden Center for the Performing Arts) has presented yearly public programs for all ages on and off the campus of Queens College, serving thousands of residents throughout Queens and New York City.
