EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb in July 1947, showcases a dynamic musical moment at Metropolitan Vocational High School in New York City. The image features a mixed-race duet of young men, one playing a saxophone and the other a brass instrument, engrossed in their music as they perform for an attentive audience. The boys, dressed in casual summer attire, exude a sense of focus and passion as they bring their music to life. Metropolitan Vocational High School, located in New York, New York, was a pioneering institution during the 1940s, providing vocational education to a diverse student body. This photograph not only captures the essence of the school's commitment to the arts but also highlights the integration of ethnicities in American education during this era. Gottlieb, a master of capturing candid moments, expertly documents this musical duet, showcasing the raw emotion and connection between the musicians and their instruments. The photograph is a testament to the power of music as a universal language that transcends boundaries and unites people. This evocative image, with its rich history and cultural significance, is a valuable addition to the vast collection of the Library of Congress. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of these young musicians and the vibrant educational environment of Metropolitan Vocational High School during the mid-20th century.
