This special opening event will feature performances by celebrated pianist Marc Cary (Betty Carter, Roy Hargrove, Dizzy Gillespie) and his band and will give guests a glimpse into the rare artifacts that comprise NJMH’s permanent collection (including one of the most comprehensive collections of Duke Ellington recordings). Guests will also be among the first to experience VIBRATIONS, an exhibit featuring over 100 years of Harlem history in one room.
