Since WHCO re-launched in 2023 as a musician-led collective, WHCO musicians have performed at many of the most-loved community events throughout Upper Manhattan, including the Dyckman Farmhouse’s Fall Festival, the Morris-Jumel Mansion’s Women’s History Month Kick-Off, Word Up Community Bookshop’s Uptown Kid-Lit in Inwood Hill Park, P.S. 187’s Spring in the Heights, and many more!

Inspired by the Houston Symphony’s innovative Community-Embedded Musicians, we created “SoundBridges” — our own community-embedded musician program. SoundBridges serves both WHCO musicians and local partner organizations by bringing world-class professional performances directly to our Upper Manhattan community and enhancing events hosted by our partners throughout the area.
