A TRIBUTE TO BLACK MUSIC MONTH
Are you interested to know how our organization can assist you?
Connect with Harlem Opera Theater now! At Harlem Opera Theater, we’re passionate about creating and performing music to different audiences. We also love the modern and classical works of many African-American musical artists. Aside from performances, we support singers and instrumentalists by taking their talents to the local, national, and international entertainment scene. Accordingly, this made us who we are today – a beloved and highly regarded musical institution in New York. Currently, there are numerous opera houses, artist workshops, and music academies in the country. However, not all of them understand and properly shape the unique talents of African-American musicians. Only a few organizations are trying to introduce this classical art form to communities where opera is not that popular or even known. We provide outreach to these communities while guiding musicians and formulating new initiatives. After learning about our work and passion for empowering artists, you likely can’t wait to talk to us. Then we’re also excited to help you out. Contact Harlem Opera Theater today!
