Benefit Concert Celebrating Harlem Stage’s 40th Anniversary
Join us for a BENEFIT CONCERT supporting Harlem Stage at its 40th Anniversary! On the occasion of the 125th anniversary of Duke Ellington’s birth, experience an intimate evening of Ellington’s music at the Harlem Stage Gatehouse with a single piano in the center of the room, and seating in the round. That single piano will be played by pianist, composer, and educator Jason Moran; legendary jazz pianist Abdullah Ibrahim; and other acclaimed pianists, including Bertha Hope, Joanne Brackeen, and Matthew Whitaker. After this all-star performance, there will a riveting discussion between Moran and Ibrahim on Ellington’s significance, followed by a lively cocktail reception.
This program is supported, in part, by, public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
Additional support is provided by the Diana King Memorial Fund presented by the Charles and Lucille King Family Foundation.
