BRONX - The Bronx Music Heritage Center (BMHC) announced a line-up of a wide-range of special events and concerts, exploring cross-cultural influences in music worldwide both past and present. 



The spring series will also include a spoken word event and a playwriting workshop. 


Some spring series events are hosted in collaboration with our partners including the 5 Boro Music Festival, Playwrights Horizon, and more. 



“The Bronx Music Heritage Center’s spring season of events features a dynamic group of artists and collaborators who will share a diverse cross-section of musical performances, highlighting history and cultural influences. We are proud of this vibrant series of events celebrating musical history, and providing Bronx audiences with incredible artistic and musical talent,” says Elena Martínez, co-artistic director of the Bronx Music Heritage Center. “We’re especially excited to continue programming at our new headquarters—the Bronx Music Hall—as our soft opening of this gorgeous space continues.”



Since 2012, the BMHC has held programming in a pop-up space in WHEDco’s Intervale Green housing development. In recent summers, the BMHC has held outdoor performances in the plaza at Bronx Commons. 


Now, the BMHC has begun holding events at its new 14,000-square-foot headquarters, the Bronx Music Hall, part of the Women’s Housing and Economic Development’s (WHEDco) Bronx Commons mixed-use development. 


The Bronx Music Hall had its soft-opening in mid-April with two jazz performances held in its lobby in celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month. When the Bronx Music Hall fully opens, performances will be held in a state-of-the-art 250-seat theater. 


(*Please note: some events will continue to be held at the BMHC’s pop-up location. Locations included in event details.)
