Our first family concert, “Harlem’s Little Blackbird,” brought to life the story of Jazz Age singer Florence Mills and her fight for equality. This engaging program, highlighted as a Black History Month recommendation by the Washington Post, was based on the children’s book by Renée Watson and featured music by Scott Joplin, H.T. Burleigh, Duke Ellington, and others.
