New York City’s Harlem was legendary as a hub of creativity in the 1920s and 30s, producing novelists, poets, playwrights, painters, musicians and scholars of all kinds.
From December through March, the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Public Library will be presenting a series of programs highlighting some of the incredible talents that emerged from that scene.
It kicks off with “The Jazz Age Renaissance in Harlem,” an introduction to the area’s cultural history. It will include a lecture-discussion plus lives performances of music by composers such as Duke Ellington and George Gershwin and jazzy renditions of holiday favorites. It’s free; no registration is required.
