Thursday at Noon: Episode 5 of the Harlem Walking Tour Video Series

We hope you will join us Thursday,  April 29th at Noon EDT for the  fifth episode of our Harlem Walking Tour Video Series.

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.” You can watch the premiere on our Youtube channel  or on our Facebook page. The Negro String Quartet: Left to right are Felix Weir (founder), Marion Cumbo, Hall Johnson, and Arthur Boyd.
