Black History Month 2022


Celebrating Black Composers

Each year, with generous support from Con Edison, The Town Hall celebrates Black History Month with performances, educational resources, and a contest for New York City public school students.
While we cannot gather in person this year, The Town Hall Foundation is delivering, for FREE, direct to educators:
  • An engaging performance video featuring members of The Harlem Chamber Players performing the works of Black composers, hosted by WQXR’s Terrance McKnight.
  • An accompanying digital study guide
  • A TikTok video by the “Gen Z Historian” Kahlil Greene to open the conversation in classrooms about the barriers Black people face in spaces rooted in European culture, yet how we have managed to thrive
  • A contest with CASH prizes for students engaged with this curriculum (enter by March 31st)

We thank all of you who have supported us.
If you haven't already, we hope you will support our 2021-22 Season!
