Led shouts out NOMA's \"America the Beautiful?\" exhibit (today's the last day to submit!), plus the stunning free subway art installations at the 181st and 190th Street A train stations featuring artists like Fuego, Josefina Hernandez, and Frank de la Melcez. Mark your calendars for the Emmett Cohen Trio at Harlem School of the Arts on May 19th — Led calls him a straight-up wizard who literally plays inside the piano.🎻 Gustavo Dudamel Comes to the Heights This one had them both buzzing. The legendary conductor Gustavo Dudamel and the New York Symphony are performing at United Palace — and tickets start at just $25 on boletos.com. Octavio connects Dudamel's roots in Venezuela's El Sistema — a music program for underserved youth — to the same community-uplift mission driving organizations like Jazz Power right here uptown. Don't sleep on this.🌿 Cleaning Up the Block Uptown People's Project, in collaboration with Carmen De La Rosa's office, is organizing a neighborhood-wide spring cleaning on May 2nd across Washington Heights and Inwood — Dyckman, Nagle, 207th, Bennett Park, and more. Supplies provided. Volunteers needed. Octavio leads by example (Led caught him out here with a trash picker after a meeting 😄).📚 Word Up + Boonee + Community Events Shoutouts to Word Up Books for their upcoming event at the Bronx Music Hall featuring authors Julia Alvarez and Angie Cruz (April 28th, 7–9pm). Plus, Boonee Coffee is hosting weekly writers' groups, chess nights, open mics, and more — and their episode drops this Tuesday! And don't miss the WAHEE Chamber of Commerce Policy Breakfast on May 7th — Led and Octavio will be live-streaming it...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/0aW1dchdn1nlJBOFlV6zCjAReq1CNZaj0Q2QiSi4iKU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iOGE1/MGFhYWQ5YzFkNmU1/Mzc5ZTZjNzQ4ZDIw/NTM4ZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
