Harlem

Join us for a joyful day of music, creativity, and community!

We’ll kick things off with a live, interactive concert by Mozart for Munchkins, featuring a vibrant mix of sounds and styles inspired by the cultures that shape Harlem—including a special performance by GRAMMY-nominated trumpeter Alphonso Horne.

After the concert, explore an instrument petting zoo, where kids can try instruments and discover their own sound, then head to our Maker Space to build and create musical instruments to take home.

Come listen, play, create, and celebrate—together.

This program is free to attend, thanks to the support of the Little Mozart Foundation and the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.

Come join us at JCC Harlem for a joyful summer music program featuring swing, jazz, rhythm, movement, and songs inspired by the sounds of New York City. Children and families will move, clap, sing, and explore the energy of summer through live music.

Join us for joyful music-making designed for young children and their caregivers, then stay for an inspiring evening of community programming, including remarks from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, a panel discussion on hate crime prevention, and an interfaith musical celebration.

Join us for the first concert in the Harmonious Steps series. Gather Round is a community-centered program celebrating the sounds that bring people together. We will explore the many rhythms of a neighborhood that emerge when we practice listening, sharing, and belonging.

In this second concert in the Harmonious Steps series, we will explore gratitude, listening, and connection. Through rhythm, melody, movement, and reflection, we will notice what we're thankful for and how music can help us express appreciation. 

In this third concert in the Harmonious Steps series, we will feel the rhythm come alive in this high-energy performance where music and movement meet. This lively concert explores how rhythm travels from instruments to footsteps and back again. With swinging melodies, playful improvisation, and irresistible beats, families will experience the joy of jazz, rhythm, and movement in a performance that’s as exciting to watch as it is to hear.

The Harmonious Steps series continues with a fourth concert, a magical performance that blends classical and jazz favorites, including beloved tunes from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker. Sing along to familiar melodies, move to the rhythm, and marvel as a graceful ballerina brings the music to life, adding an extra layer of wonder.

The Harmonious Steps series concludes in this fifth concert, a captivating musical adventure that the whole family will love! This interactive concert weaves a delightful tapestry of classical and jazz favorites. Dive into the excitement with familiar winter songs, bells, rhythm, and dancing.
