When was the last time you witnessed; strings, horns and piano at a Hip-Hop concert? Add to that, a party-rocking DJ, a soul-stirring female vocalist and a fire-breathing MC and that is still but a fraction of what you'll see when you catch Thee Phantom & The Illharmonic Orchestra in action!

Combining the raw energy and passion of Hip-Hop, with the beautiful sounds of orchestral accompaniment, The Illharmonic is just the 3rd Hip-Hop group to headline their own performance at the famed Carnegie Hall. 

Babatunde Akinboboye, known as @HipHoperaGuy, is a Nigerian-American baritone who revolutionized opera by blending it with Hip-Hop, creating the subgenre "#HipHopera". After his 2018 video rapping over Kendrick Lamar went viral, he gained international recognition. He is known for blending classical technique with modern beats to make opera more accessible, performing with major opera houses while also touring his fusion performances.

With an opening set by Babatunde, followed by a Hip-Hop Orchestra set by The Illharmonic, this is one event you won't want to miss!
