The Grammy Award-winning Harlem Quartet will perform a free concert in Penn State Behrend’s McGarvey Commons beginning at noon on Thursday, April 7. The performance, which is free and open to the public, concludes the 2021-22 season of Music at Noon: The Logan Series.

The Harlem Quartet celebrates and encourages diversity in classical music by showcasing works by minority composers. The group has been featured on CNN, NBC’s “Today” show and at Carnegie Hall. In 2009, the quartet performed for President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama at the White House.

Music at Noon: The Logan Series was founded by Mrs. Kay Logan in 1989 and receives major support from the Kay Logan Trust. Additional funding is provided by Penn State Behrend Student Activity Fee. Music at Noon receives state arts funding support through a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Additional support is provided in part from an Erie Arts & Culture Project grant, made possible by community contributions to the Combined Arts & Cultural Campaign and the Erie Arts Endowment.
