In collaboration with the Black Archives History & Research Foundation of South Florida, Inc., New World Symphony presents an evening of jazz and chamber music at the Historic Lyric Theater in Overtown. Like Harlem, Overtown experienced its own cultural renaissance in the 1930s, and served as a refuge for artists like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald when they performed in Miami.

This special presentation is part of NWS's 2023 I Dream a World festival.
