Stringing Uptown Together: Streaming Concert

The strings of WHCO perform five musical works by composers who live and thrive in New York City’s uptown neighborhoods, from Inwood to Harlem to the Upper West Side. Each composer shares a unique voice and style representing a part of the broad spectrum of classical artists creating in our city today. Funded in part by a grant from the NYC & Company Foundation.
