PROGRAM
The Harlem Chamber Players joins New Heritage Theater Group and City College Center of the Arts as co-hosts. The concert’s program creates a rich and vibrant tapestry of music, showcasing both trailblazing works that have often been overlooked and cherished classics that continue to inspire. The Shared Voices Cohort’s performance will uplift and amplify the voices of underrepresented artists, bringing attention to their profound contributions to the world of classical and operatic music.

Through this event, we celebrate the power of music to transcend boundaries, unite communities, and inspire lasting change. This concert serves as a powerful reminder that art has the ability to bring hope, amplify diverse voices, and inspire a more inclusive future.

Don’t miss this special afternoon of celebration, reflection, and musical excellence, as we honor the enduring legacy of Black composers and continue the movement toward greater diversity in the classical music world.
