About HAAF

Since its inaugural on Jan 12, 2011 at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem, NY, the “Hope and A Future” Benefit Concert for Haïti has become New York City's prime event commemorating the tragic earthquake of 2010 and celebrating Haïti's resiliency and culture. The 2011 concert, with endorsements from New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg and Manhattan Borough President, Scott Stringer, provided an inspirational, uplifting and cultural display of performances by over 20+ international and national performers, including Disco Icon, Gloria Gaynor, Ronald K. Brown's Evidence Dance Company and Dickson Guillaume and Haitian Mass Choir. Presenting a variety of expressions of jazz, R&B, inspirational, dance, spoken word and Haitian music, the show truly is an eclectic mix. Now, with the support of Brooklyn Borough President, Marty Markowitz, the 2012 Hope and A Future Benefit Concert for Haiti moves to Brooklyn, the heart of the Haitian community in New York.
