Critically acclaimed composer, pianist, and educator Adegoke Steve Colson, will be a main attraction at this year’s HSA A-Train Arts Festival to be held on June 8-11th. Ade, as he prefers to be called, will premiere a new composition that he has titled “Suite Harlem,” on the last day of the festival (June 11). This ode to the historic community of Harlem is arranged in six parts (Searching Harlem, Harlem Streets, Our Beautiful Children, The True Bridge, Resilience, and A Gift, A Legacy), and pays tribute to Harlem’s rich cultural past, present and future, while honoring the Harlem School of the Arts, a nationally recognized arts institution, its student body, creative staff, and its founder the legendary Dorothy Maynor’s vision.This is the culmination of Ade’s partnership with HSA, which began with Mr. Colson being one of a select group of artists recipients of South Arts prestigious Jazz Road Creative Residencies, a 4-year national jazz initiative funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation with additional support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
