The
Harlem Walking Tour video series highlights historic artistic figures
who either lived in or spent time in Harlem and how each person
contributed to the vibrancy and rich cultural landscape that make Harlem
what it is today. This project was conceived by husband and wife team, Terrance McKnight of WQXR and harpist-scholar Dr. Ashley Jackson.
The fifth
episode of the Harlem Walking Tour Video Series features the Negro
String Quartet, a group that performed in the early 20th century, mainly
in churches, community organizations and college venues in New York City.
Members of The
Harlem Chamber Players — violinists Ashley Horne and Claire Chan,
violist Tia Allen, and cellist Wayne Smith — pay tribute to the Negro
String Quartet in a performance of the slow movement from Dvořák’s String Quartet No. 12 in F major, Op. 96 “American.”
