New York Harlem Singers was established in 1996 as The Spiritual Singers of Harlem by Broadway music director LINDA TWINE in association with Producer DAVID K. LEE, Executive Producer of Arcadia Records and Music Management, Inc. Compressed of outstanding New York based artists, the ensemble is devoted presenting the time-honored tradition of the African American spiritual to audiences throughout the United States and aboard.

With a more than 200-year history, the spiritual is rooted in the African slave culture of the antebellum South. Spiritual served a crucially important role in providing solace and hope to an enslaved people. They still communicate powerfully, both in worship and in the concert hall, to people of all backgrounds. However, while all the great musical forms of America owe their provenance to this inspirational tradition, as a genre unto itself, the spiritual has fallen into decline over the years. New York Harlem Singers are committed to keeping this tradition alive through arrangements, which, though written especially for the concert stage, adhere first and foremost to the music’s timeless essence.

After 10 years, in 2006 they changed their name from The Spiritual Singers of Harlem to New York Harlem Singers, because of the big demanding of the audience to hear more various repertoires like songs from musical, old pops, jazz melody and opera etc.

After the first appearance at the Harlem School of the Arts, New York Harlem Singers has a resoundingly successful tour to Mexico, Korea and United States. In the Christmas Season of 2006~2008, the ensemble made a great successful tour to Korea, Japan, Malaysia and Indonesia under the name of the production “Merry Christmas with the Harlem”. Forthcoming plans for the ensemble include, in addition to U.S. concerts, 2009 Christmas and New Year Asia Tour, a European tour throughout the year. The CD named “Dry Bones” was released in 2006 and their latest CD “Carol of Harlem” was released in December of 2008 by Arcadia Records.
