Cathedral of St. John the Divine Presents TUESDAYS AT 6: Samuel Kuffuor-Afriyie & Kennedy Dankwa

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the difficulties of presenting in-person concerts, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine has launched a weekly series of online music recitals, Tuesdays at 6, on the Cathedral's Facebook page and YouTube channel. These recitals feature the music staff of the Cathedral, performing both in the great space of the Cathedral's Gothic interior and in the more intimate surroundings of their own living rooms. This week, Organ Scholar Samuel Kuffuor-Afriyie, together with baritone Kennedy Dankwa, will perform a concert of music by Black composers, in honor of Black History Month.
