Harlem Collective
The Harlem Collective movement inspires and celebrates the classical artistic offerings of the African American diaspora. The brainchild of our founder Jarvus Ricardo Hester, his passion for classical/opera arts and desire to unite his community brought to life this grassroots effort. He desires to make the classical/opera more tangible to the masses, not just the 1%.
The core focus is to provide a platform for emerging African American opera singers to hone and perfect their craft. A bridge between college and career. The resources that harmoniously come together to produce opera or classical performances bring not only Harlem together, but inspire travel from all over the globe to visit New York for the best in the art form.
