Upcoming Online Programs
Join us on June 5th for a “Careers in Music Panel.” This panel will feature
discussions amongst the leading figures of color in the worlds of
orchestral music, music education, music administration, chamber music,
and musical theater. The goal of this panel is to expose students and
the broader audience to the many different career paths, fields of work,
and opportunities in the profession of music.
Panelists include Monica Ellis of Imani Winds, Gary Padmore of the New York Philharmonic, Titus Underwood of the Nashville Symphony, Westin Sprott of The Juilliard School, Liz Player of The Harlem Chamber Players, and music director and composer Andrew Sotomayor and will be moderated by our own director of educational programming, Hassan Anderson.
This event is free and recommended for students ages 9 to 21 interested in pursuing a music career. Email us if you are interested in joining.
Join
members of The Harlem Chamber Players in a Watch Party, Talk and
Q&A featuring the February 2019 world premiere performance of
"Nobody Know," a
concert aria based on a text by Herbert Martin, American poet based in
Dayton, Ohio. It was commissioned by The Harlem Chamber Players to
commemorate the 400th anniversary of the first Africans being brought to
America as slaves. The piece depicts a “song from the other cross,” a
viewpoint of one of the thieves crucified with Christ on Good Friday,
the thief who spoke to Christ.
After
the Watch Party there will be an interactive Talk and Q&A with the
composer, librettist and performers. This event is FREE and open to the
public.
