Tour our new home, meet artists and community supporters, enjoy food and conversation, and learn what’s ahead for Harlem’s arts and cultural community.

Your $48 ticket helps move our grand pianos into our new home and provide upright pianos for our dance studio. Every ticket purchaser will also be recognized as a Friend of the Opera in the upcoming season program and Mood Magazine.

Not a gala. Just a beautiful evening celebrating 48 years, a new home, and what’s coming next.
