HARLEM DAY is how HARLEM WEEK began in 1974. It is now the culminating event of the HARLEM WEEK Festival and our biggest day! For decades, HARLEM DAY has seen international recording artists, actors, sports figures, and leaders take the stage.
This year, HARLEM DAY featured a Conversation with Stevie Wonder and Doug E. Fresh! Plus HARLEM DAY highlights - The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s presentation of “Chamber Music of the Harlem Renaissance” by-era composers Duke Ellington and Harold T. Burleigh. Clarinetist David Shifrin and pianist Gloria Chien perform Ellington's “Clarinet Lament” (arranged by David Schiff). Violinist Chad Hoopes and pianist and Co-Artistic Director Wu Han perform Burleigh's “Southland Sketches.”
