Harlem Renaissance

MYJO with the Guildhall School of Music and Drama

Merton Youth Jazz Orchestra join forces with students from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and guest musicians for a night of celebration of the vibrant and eclectic music of the Harlem Renaissance; an era that marked a major turning point in the cultural and artistic history of the New York African American community.

Join us for a musical exploration into a time when jazz, blues, and gospel music flourished and became emblematic of the era. The music of the Harlem Renaissance spoke to the struggles and triumphs of the African American experience, and provided a platform for artists to express themselves creatively.
