MUSE/IQUE will present “The Sun Rises in Harlem: Black Brilliance and the Harlem Renaissance” across four performances from June 2 through 7 at The Huntington in San Marino and the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.

The program is led by MUSE/IQUE Artistic and Music Director Rachael Worby  and features Broadway veteran Kecia Lewis, vocalist Sy Smith, tap dancer Leo Manzari, and the DC6 Singers Collective, accompanied by the MUSE/IQUE Orchestra.

The evening draws on the music of the 1920s and 30s Harlem Renaissance.

“The artists, musicians, and thinkers of the Harlem Renaissance declared their brilliance in a way that forever changed American culture. The daring self-expression of these Black artists, and their pride in their identity, spread a message of hope and empowerment that continues to speak to us all,” Worby said, per an official press release.

The June 2 and 3 performances in San Marino kick off at 7:30 p.m., while the June 7 showcases in Los Angeles have start times of 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. local time.
