Featured Grant Winner

Brianna Garcon ’23E won a Paul R. Judy Center for Innovation and Research grant for Sugar Hill Salon. Sugar Hill Salon is one of the first chamber music series and artistic collectives that centers on black and brown woodwind artistry in classical music. Through commissioning chamber works and monthly concerts featuring artists on the scene, Sugar Hill Salon is decolonizing classical music for a more equitable future for black and brown communities. PRJC funding is supporting Sugar Hill Salon’s interdisciplinary Jackie Robinson Park concerts in Harlem from May – July of their 2023-2024 season.
