The Town Hall Presents
The Town Hall Black History Month Choral Festival returns, featuring over 250 students from NYC School Choirs. Students from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts Gospel Choir and Band, Stuyvesant High School Oratorio Choir, and Talent Unlimited High School Concert Choir present a selection of songs that honor the legacy of Black history and the work of living composers. The Festival culminates in a joint-choir performance directed by award-winning composer and multi-disciplinary artist Daminen Sneed. In the weeks leading up to the performance, Sneed led workshops in NYC schools in preparation for the students’ Town Hall debut.
The Town Hall’s annual Black History Month Program invites schools and educational organizations from the greater New York City area to participate as performers and audience members. The annual event serves as a tool for students to recognize and appreciate the legacy of Black and African American artistic traditions and creative contributions. In previous years, the program showcased poetry, dance, music, and more.
This year’s event will be available to Livestream @TownHallNYC. Watch last year's BHM Choral Festival here.
Doors Open at 10:30 AM
