Kamasi Washington played the historic Apollo Theater on Saturday (2/23), a show that was co-presented with AfroPunk as part of the Apollo's "Race Music" weekend and the show included a screening of his short film, ’As Told To G/D Thyself.’
Jazz at Lincoln Center, National Sawdust, The Shed, and The Whitney are among the other locations New Yorkers will be able to access free year-long memberships to with an IDNYC card.
The nearby Victoria Theater is being redeveloped into Harlem's tallest building, which will include condos, a Marriott hotel, and the two-stage Apollo Performing Arts Center.
U2 brought out Sun Ra Arkestra for the encore (including "Angel of Harlem") and Bono dedicated "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" to Anthony Bourdain at this very intimate show at the historic Harlem theatre.
