IAH Studio’s 10th Annual Ode to the Black Fiddler Music Festival on Saturday, August 29th

Join us in Harlem as we mark ten years of redefining live string performance. This full-day experience brings together extraordinary local and national, award-winning musicians spanning hip-hop, R&B, jazz, Latin, classical, fusion, and experimental sounds.

For this year’s edition, we’re taking over St. Nicholas Avenue with a dynamic market featuring local vendors, small businesses, and community organizations. The day will also include activities for all ages, along with DJ sets from some of NYC’s top mixers and sound artists.

Join us for a vibrant celebration of music, culture, and community.

All ticket proceeds directly support the musicians and creative teams who make this event possible.

Youth 12 and under receive free admission.
