About this event

Sing Harlem! the award-winning musical group was formed to be the breakout choir for Mama Foundation for the Arts' School of Gospel, Jazz, and R&B Arts. Under the direction of Ahmaya Knoelle Higginson, the choir has grown to be a highly respected and influential force in the New York gospel scene, producing not only great vocalists, but top-notch global citizens. At its core, Sing Harlem! serves as both a social impact initiative for young people that have graduated from Mama Foundation’s music training program, and as a commercial choir delivering acclaimed entertainment nationwide. All proceeds from Sing Harlem! events and performances benefit the Mama Foundation for the Arts’ music training programs, which are provided to the Harlem community tuition-free. Sing Harlem! has performed at many prestigious venues, programs, and concerts across America including The Congressional Black Caucus, The Stellar Awards, New York Fashion Week (TOMMYxZENDAYA), United Nations, Radio City Music Hall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center, the US Open, Chicago's Ravinia Festival, Carnegie Hall, Forbes Impact Summit, Hermes, and Brooklyn’s Afropunk. Television performances include The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Saturday Night Live, The View, Good Morning America, Good Day New York, VH1 Trailblazer Honors, and the Grammy Awards. Theatrical performances include The Let Go (Nick Cave), The Mile-Long Opera (David Lang, Liz Diller), and As You Like It (Public Theater, Public Works). Sing Harlem is also proud to headline New York City's longest-running and world-renowned Gospel Brunch at Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster Harlem Restaurant every Sunday for over 15 years, using the platform for Mama Foundation students and Sing Harlem artists to further their music training and artist development in front of live audiences.
