Musicians of the New World Symphony

Don’t miss this: Join New World Symphony for an evening of jazz and chamber music at the Historic Lyric Theater in Overtown.

I Dream a World: The Harlem Renaissance in Europe

Picture this: It’s 1938, Paris. You’re at Chez Bricktop, the glamourous nightclub where café society rubs shoulders with the likes of Josephine Baker, Cole Porter and Ernest Hemingway. A woman takes the stage, and she starts to sing…  This year’s I Dream a World festival takes us on a tour through interwar Europe to meet the Black musicians who transformed art and culture on both sides of the Atlantic. Over the course of two weeks, join New World Symphony for closer look at the pivotal moment in music that went on to shape early jazz and inspire composers like Ravel and Stravinsky.
