Jeff Scott is an original member of Imani Winds
In celebration of National Poetry Month, the Harlem Chamber Players bring Jeff Scott’s momentous piece, A Hug for Harlem,
to the Schomburg Center for its Harlem premiere. Scott, who writes what
he calls “urban classical music, will draw from his experience
composing musical “hugs” to honor personalities or locales. The
heartrending A Hug for Harlem fuses strings, winds, percussion
and spoken word and is inspired by prolific Harlem Renaissance writers,
including Countee Cullen, Zora Neale Hurston, and Wallace Thurman.
Grammy-nominated pianist Joseph Joubert will join us as a special guest
artist, and Terrance McKnight of WQXRFM will be the host and orator.
