DREAMING ON LENOX

A Copland House Gala Celebration

Thursday, November 21, 2024 at 6:00 PM ..... THIS EVENT HAS PASSED!

Red Rooster Harlem

310 Lenox Avenue (at 125th Street), NYC

Come dream with us on Lenox! Celebrate the roots and fruits of American cuisine, music, art, and more at one of Harlem's coolest nightspots -- Ginny's Supper Club at the famed Red Rooster. We're returning to one of our favorite locales in over 15 years of our annual culinary and musical galas, for our most-anticipated event of the season. When we last partnered there with Chef Marcus Samuelsson a dozen years ago, Westchester magazine borrowed from the immortal Fats Waller to headline its rave review:





"This gala is jumpin'! ... As has come to be expected by its appreciative guests, Copland House threw another enormously triumphant event." The delectable gastronomic menu will be paired with music composed by William Grant Still, Aaron Copland, Shawn Okpebholo, Hall Johnson, Rachel Peters, and Lena McLin -- inspired by Harlem and its iconic Renaissance, performed by our Copland House Ensemble all-stars (called "spellbinding" by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution), and the "magnificent" (New York Times) baritone Jorell Williams. So excite all of your senses, while supporting Copland House's award-winning programs and shaping the future of American music! Our galas typically sell out, so please get your tickets early, and meet us at Ginny's!
