Step into the heart of Harlem’s musical legacy as we launch the Harlem Renaissance 100th Centennial Music Series with an electrifying concert on March 20, 2025. This two-hour event will transport audiences through the evolution of Harlem’s sound—from the raw, soul-stirring Blues of the Deep South to the lively jazz halls of New Orleans, and into the golden age of Harlem Swing. Guided by two legendary Harlem bandleaders, Phil Young and Patience Higgins, this opening night sets the stage for a three-year journey honoring the artists and rhythms that defined the Harlem Renaissance. Join us as history comes alive in the music that shaped American culture.
