Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, seeking to uncover the experiences of Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Author Reading | Bestselling Author/Journalist Discusses Her New Book: The Acid Queen


Bestselling author and journalist Susannah Cahalan discusses her new book, I—about a woman who embodied an era of freedom, experimentation, and psychedelic adventure, Rosemary Woodruff Leary—with NYPL archivist Tal Nadan. Rosemary Woodruff Leary has been known only as the wife of Timothy Leary, the Harvard professor-turned-psychedelic high priest, whose jailbreak captivated the counterculture and whose life on the run with Rosemary inflamed the government. But Rosemary was more than a mere accessory. She was a beatnik, a psychonaut, and a true believer who tested the limits of her mind and the expectations for women of her time. Long overlooked by those who have venerated her husband, Rosemary spent her life on the forefront of the counterculture, working with Leary on his books and speeches, sewing his clothing, and shaping—for better and for worse—the media’s narrative about LSD. Drawing from a wealth of interviews, diaries, archives, and unpublished sources, Susannah Cahalan writes the definitive portrait of Rosemary Woodruff Leary, reclaiming her narrative and her voice from those who dismissed her.  Doors will open 30 minutes before the program begins.

Ricardo Gonzalez’s Traces returns to the refined minimalism of his earlier work. Fresh from two major museum retrospectives in Mexico, Gonzalez presents spare black brushstrokes on manila-toned canvases that evoke memory, emotion, and archetype through simple gestures. Rooted in Jungian philosophy and the intuitive mark-making of childhood, these works quietly assert the power of restraint and the universality of form.

Concert | Mambo Legends Orchestra Celebrates the Music Legacy of San Juan Hill (In Person AND Online!)


Enlivening dance halls and stages across the neighborhood, music and dance were a part of everyday life in San Juan Hill from the early 1900s when vaudeville, ragtime, James Reese Europe and the Castles, and the Charleston whirled through the area. As the neighborhood's Puerto Rican population grew significantly in the 1940s and '50s, Latin music and dance styles took root. Jazz ensembles, Latin music bands and Mambo Nights were featured in and around San Juan Hill at venues like the Lincoln Square Center and the St. Nicholas Arena, as well as the nearby Palladium Ballroom. This event celebrates the storied history of Latin music and dance in this area. Featuring live music by the Mambo Legends Orchestra, an ensemble dedicated to keeping the sounds of the Mambo tradition and the great Afro-Cuban bandleaders Machito, Tito Puente, and Tito Rodriguez alive and thriving. Comprised of several former members of these renowned bands of the 1950s and '60s, the Mambo Legends Orchestra bridges past to present, celebrating an era of music in mid-20th century New York City when big band popular music fused with the rhythms and sounds of music from Africa, Cuba, and Puerto Rico to create a musical genre that's beloved worldwide.

Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, seeking to uncover the experiences of Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Theater | The Imaginary Invalid: Moliere's Comedy-Ballet Starring Broadway Actor


Argan is ill. But is he? Argan is dying. But aren't we all? Argan wants absolute control. But is that ever achievable? After a series of upside down attempts to snap him out of it, a solution is found. But will it save him? The Imaginary Invalid is the last play that legendary French playwright Moliere wrote and was originally conceived as a Comedy-Ballet where theater, dance, and music are intertwined. It explores the fear of disease and the exploitation it breeds through infinitely humorous dialogue and in-your-face satire. This production will feature original choreography by FlexN dancer Cal Hunt, original music by cellist Johnathan Moore, and stars Tony and Olivier Award nominee Sahr Ngaujah. Director and Translator: Lucie Tiberghien Choreographer and Dancer: Cal Hunt Composer and Cellist: Johnathan Moore Cast: Dante Bonner, Mary Bacon, Rory Furey-King, Doron JePaul, Naomi Lorrain, Sahr Ngaujah, Shayvawn Webster

Inspired by A.A. Milne's classic characters, the beloved 100 Acre Wood is in the midst of a civil war. Throughout this multi-year conflict, childhood friends Winnie, Christopher, and H.P. Piglet find themselves on different paths. H.P. struggles with the moral dilemmas of being a soldier, Christopher discovers what can happen when the powerless gain power, and Winnie is on the run for dodging the draft. Part war epic, part whimsical absurdism, this play looks at how people justify violence, the lengths you'll go to defend what you believe in and if fire is fought with fire - will the acres just burn to the ground?

Play | Award-Winning Comedy-Drama Play from Italy: Like an Octopus in a Guitar


When the protagonist of Like an Octopus in a Guitar decides that he no longer wants to leave the house, he develops an obsession with death and begins to spend his days imagining his funeral. A funny and absurd journey inside the mind of an individual who is slowly losing his memories, where the actors' bodies become a metaphor and instrument for remembering. In this suspended world, where even the names of the characters have been forgotten, dreams and reality merge to tell the story of a man's internal battle. A battle between the desire to heal and the temptation to remain, forever, playing with death. Playwright: Marco Ziello Directors: Licia Amarante and Marco Ziello Cast: Annachiara Castorino, Gerardo D'Amato, Francesco Del Gaudio, Sabrina La Regina, Paola Santamaria, Marco Ziello In Italian with English subtitles.

Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, seeking to uncover the experiences of Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Theater | The Imaginary Invalid: Moliere's Comedy-Ballet Starring Broadway Actor


Argan is ill. But is he? Argan is dying. But aren't we all? Argan wants absolute control. But is that ever achievable? After a series of upside down attempts to snap him out of it, a solution is found. But will it save him? The Imaginary Invalid is the last play that legendary French playwright Moliere wrote and was originally conceived as a Comedy-Ballet where theater, dance, and music are intertwined. It explores the fear of disease and the exploitation it breeds through infinitely humorous dialogue and in-your-face satire. This production will feature original choreography by FlexN dancer Cal Hunt, original music by cellist Johnathan Moore, and stars Tony and Olivier Award nominee Sahr Ngaujah. Director and Translator: Lucie Tiberghien Choreographer and Dancer: Cal Hunt Composer and Cellist: Johnathan Moore Cast: Dante Bonner, Mary Bacon, Rory Furey-King, Doron JePaul, Naomi Lorrain, Sahr Ngaujah, Shayvawn Webster

Play | New Play from Kennedy Center-Featured Writer: We the People of these Fifty Acre Woods


Inspired by A.A. Milne's classic characters, the beloved 100 Acre Wood is in the midst of a civil war. Throughout this multi-year conflict, childhood friends Winnie, Christopher, and H.P. Piglet find themselves on different paths. H.P. struggles with the moral dilemmas of being a soldier, Christopher discovers what can happen when the powerless gain power, and Winnie is on the run for dodging the draft. Part war epic, part whimsical absurdism, this play looks at how people justify violence, the lengths you'll go to defend what you believe in and if fire is fought with fire - will the acres just burn to the ground?

Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors


In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would serve as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Each tour is one hour, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session with an assigned docent. Start times: 10:30 am, 12 pm, 1:30 pm

Musical | New, Original Musical Inspired by the Three Stooges: For Love or Funny


This event is the first public presentation of a piece developed during an incubator program, For Love or Funny, by fellowship recipients Sonya Hayden and Megan Loughran! For Love or Funny is a classic musical comedy which reimagines the Three Stooges as a trio of sisters: Mo, Mary, and Curly. In a goofy, slapstick version of 1930s Brooklyn, the sisters' family-owned clothing store is about to close--unless they can somehow get a whopping $500 by the next day. When they learn that the cops are offering that exact reward for the capture of a notorious robber, they hatch a harebrained scheme to catch him themselves. Along the way, our trio must rely on their bonds of sisterhood to succeed, while navigating mix-ups, mayhem, mistaken identities, and more. As a female writing duo, fellowship winners Loughran and Hayden are excited to put a modern twist on old-school comedy and center bold female characters who get to land the punches and the punchlines.

Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, seeking to uncover the experiences of Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Set in the bustling world of New York restaurants and teeming with mouthwatering food writing, Aftertaste is a whirlwind romance, a heart-wrenching look at love and loss, and a ghost story about all the ways we hunger—and how far we’d go to find satisfaction. Daria Lavelle is an American fiction writer. Her short stories have appeared in The Deadlands, Dread Machine, and elsewhere.  Julia Phillips is the author of the bestselling novels Bear and Disappearing Earth, which was a finalist for the National Book Award and one of The New York Times Book Review’s 10 Best Books of the Year.

Staged Reading | Surreal Adaptation of Euripides’ Tragedy: Hecuba and Polyxena 


This event is a studio reading of Hecuba and Polyxena by Amanda L. Andrei—a bold, surreal adaptation inspired by Euripides’ tragedy and the American eugenics movement. At its heart, this play is about a Philippine-born mother and baker, struggling to piece together memories of violence and loss in a haunting journey through history, identity, and survival. The evening highlights the voice of playwright Amanda L. Andrei, whose work centers diasporic perspectives and hidden histories.

Book Club | Book Club Discussion: Yellowface by R. F. Kuang


Book Synopsis: Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena’s a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. So what if June edits Athena’s novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn’t this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That’s what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree. But June can’t get away from Athena’s shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June’s (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves. With its totally immersive first-person voice, Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. R.F. Kuang’s novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.

Opening Reception | Group Illustration Showq that Twists Time and Space: The Visit to the Museum


The Visit to the Museum is an exhibition that explores a story where a realistic pursuit turns into a surrealist one; it starts with the search for the painting of a lost relative and results in a protagonist who finds themselves stripped of everything--from clothing to their sense of security--mental or physical. It's a group show of illustrated artwork by 20 emerging artists, MFA students of an Illustration as Visual Essay program. Time and space continuously twist exponentially in a small provincial museum where expected artifacts unravel into unexpected chaos. Ancient columns, Egyptian sarcophagi, taxidermy, whale bones, buzzard specimens and paintings of questionable value compose a magnificent wunderkammer from which there's no escape. Page after page, an initially typical visit to the museum devolves into a time warped sequence of events with rare illustrative potential. Time, space but also individual artifacts and their symbolic details make for the perfect springboard towards a series of images that show and tell elaborate depictions of situations the mind's eye is often incapable of seeing. This multitude of pictorial opportunities translates into a variety of approaches, spanning from picture books that faithfully follow the storyline to cut out paper collages cut by laser, mystery objects in narrative frames, bold portraiture, delicate artifact drawings of personal value and multiple meanings, complex diorama triptychs full of anything one could imagine, detailed architectural blueprints of how madness could unfold from one room to another, alternative suggestions of what a museum galleries can look like, puzzles that compose by decomposing the mysteries at hand, optical illusions that simultaneously reveal what is and what is not to the naked eye, and more. The exhibition will be on view from Thursday, May 15, through Tuesday, May 27.

Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, seeking to uncover the experiences of Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Talk | Bestselling Author Chris Pavone  Presents His New Thriller: The Doorman


A pulse-pounding novel of class, privilege, sex, and murder, New York Times bestselling author Chris Pavone presents The Doorman. Chicky Diaz is everyone’s favorite doorman at the Bohemia, the most famous apartment house in the world, home of celebrities, financiers, and New York’s cultural elite.  Meanwhile, gathered in the Bohemia’s bowels, the building’s almost entirely Black and Hispanic, working-class staff is taking in the news that that just a few miles uptown, a Black man has been killed by the police, leading to a demonstration, a counterdemonstration, and a long night of violence across the tinderbox city. As Chicky changes into his uniform for tonight’s shift, he finds himself breaking a cardinal rule of the job: tonight, he’ll be carrying a gun, bought only hours earlier, but before he knew of the pandemonium taking over the city. Tonight in the city, enemies will clash, loyalties will be tested, secrets will be revealed—and lives will be lost. Chris Pavone is the author of The Paris Diversion, The Travelers, The Accident, and The Expats. His novels have appeared on the bestseller lists of The New York Times, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal; have won both the Edgar and Anthony awards; are in development for film and television; and have been translated into two dozen languages.

Screening | The Holocaust, 80 Years On (2025): Holocaust Documentary + Q&A


Marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Holocaust death camps, renowned historian Sir Simon Schama confronts the history of the Holocaust as not just a Nazi obsession, but as a Europe-wide crime. Schama visits mass killing sites in Lithuania, the home of his mother's family. He travels to the Netherlands, a nation famed for its long history of tolerance and where he lived and worked as a young historian, to answer the question of why fewer Jews survived here than in any other Western occupied country. The film also captures the emotional toll of Schama's first-ever visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau. At this screening of the documentary film, there will be a discussion and Q&A with Simon Schama and Tina Brown.

Theater | The Imaginary Invalid: Molière's Comedy-Ballet Starring Broadway Actor


Argan is ill. But is he? Argan is dying. But aren’t we all? Argan wants absolute control. But is that ever achievable? After a series of upside down attempts to snap him out of it, a solution is found. But will it save him? The Imaginary Invalid is the last play that legendary French playwright Molière wrote and was originally conceived as a Comedy-Ballet where theater, dance, and music are intertwined. It explores the fear of disease and the exploitation it breeds through infinitely humorous dialogue and in-your-face satire. This production will feature original choreography by FlexN dancer Cal Hunt, original music by cellist Johnathan Moore, and stars Tony and Olivier Award nominee Sahr Ngaujah.  Director and Translator: Lucie Tiberghien Choreographer and Dancer: Cal Hunt Composer and Cellist: Johnathan Moore Cast: Dante Bonner, Mary Bacon, Rory Furey-King, Doron JePaul, Naomi Lorrain, Sahr Ngaujah, Shayvawn Webster

Then glory in the masterful Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D Major -- Bach's first major work for solo harpsichord and orchestra. The wildly popular Brandenburg Concertos gave almost every period instrument a place to shine, and the fifth spotlights the flute, violin, and harpsichord -- which it moves into the limelight with an unforgettable cadenza (a technically brilliant passage) unlike anything of its time.

Book Club | Novella Discussion Joseph Roth's Rebellion


During this novella discussion, the group will focus on Joseph Roth's 1924 novella, Rebellion. "Rebellion is reminiscent of Chekhov in its uncluttered, melancholy simplicity, while its sense of the larger, crushing incomprehensibility of things echoes Roth's older contemporary, Frank Kafka." --Richard Bernstein, The New York Times Synopsis: When Andreas Pum returns from World War I, he has lost a leg but gained a medal. But unlike his fellow sufferers, Pum maintains his unswerving faith in God, Government, and Authority. Ironically, after a dispute, Pum is imprisoned as a rebel, and all that he believed in is now thrown into upheaval. Moving along at a breakneck clip, Rebellion captures the cynicism and upheavals of a postwar society. Its jazz-like cadences mix with social commentary to create a wise parable about justice and society.

Film | Vishniac (2023): Documentary on Pre-WWII Jewish Photographer


Vishniac is about Russian-American photographer Roman Vishniac, who's best known for traveling through Eastern Europe from 1935 to 1938, photographing Jewish life in Eastern Europe. Few predicted that less than a decade later, these communities would be destroyed, and that Vishniac’s photographs would provide the last visual records of an entire world. He was a pioneer of microscopic photography and one of the first to use photography as a documentary tool. As anti-Semitism grew in his native Russia, he fled to Berlin, only to flee again to New York when the Nazis came to power. Throughout his journey, he never put his camera down. His daughter and grandchildren tell the intimate (and traumatic) family story of the man who became one of the world’s most renowned nature photographers. The film features his stunning photographs for Life magazine, as well as tragically moving images of life in Jewish towns just before the Holocaust. The purpose of the photographs was to raise funds for impoverished Jewish communities, and he later continued his efforts using these images to draw the attention of the American government to the terrible fate of Jews in Europe during the war. His legacy also includes portraits of celebrities--Albert Einstein's favorite portrait was of himself painted by Vishniac. Director: Laura Bialis

Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, seeking to uncover the experiences of Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Classical Music | Skeletons of the Opera: Harpsichord Music Transformed (In Person AND Online!)


Famously described as "two skeletons copulating on a tin roof," the harpsichord has at times been undersold for its dramatic capabilities. Harpsichordists Elliot Figg and Caitlyn Koester, howver, tell another tale... keyboard opera transcriptions begin alongside the earliest operas. Baroque opera finds a continuous history with modern historically-informed transcriptions. Figg and Koester blend historical transcriptions with their own for a program that moves the skeletons from the rooftop into the opera house.

Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, seeking to uncover the experiences of Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Lecture | Learn about the Brain's Evolution and the Way People Learn


In this engaging lecture, Harvard Professor Chris Kuzawa will take attendees on a fascinating journey to uncover the "caloric price tag" of our uniquely complex brains and the way we learn. Professor Kuzawa and his team have discovered some surprising truths about when our brains dominate our body’s energy budgets. It's not when we're newborns, even though babies have such large heads compared to their bodies. Instead, it's during childhood, when the brain is buzzing with activity as kids learn at lightning speed. These energy demands are so high that they outpace the energy that 5-year-olds expend on physical activity, and they account for an amazing two-thirds of the body’s energy use at rest, which is a large enough caloric drain to influence how we grow. As the brain's energy needs peak, the body's growth slows down— with growth and learning trading off for resources over time as kids get older. Indeed, our hungry brains help explain why our children grow at a pace more typical of a cold-blooded reptile than a warm-blooded mammal! These findings offer new glimpses into human evolution, including insights into how our ancestors evolved our energy-intensive form of thinking and learning. A key piece of this puzzle was the development of uniquely human strategies for childcare, like sharing food and raising children cooperatively, which helped meet our developing brains’ high energy needs. Because the brain dominates the body’s use of energy in childhood, this work is also providing new insights into contemporary societal and health issues, including nutritional needs during the school years, and patterns of weight gain and body composition. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the incredible journey of our brain's evolution and its impact on our lives today.

Screening | World Premiere of Hip-Hop Documentary: Fat Beats, Performance by Fat Beats DJ, and Talk Back Panel


Back in the mid-nineties, DJ Jab (aka Joseph Abajian) opened Fat Beats, New York City's first Hip-Hop specialist music store in the Lower East Side. The shop rapidly became a nexus for the city's burgeoning underground rap community, evolving from cipher spot and culture matrix into an influential label and distributor in a matter of months. A list of artists releasing LPs on Fat Beats over the past three decades reads like a Mount Rushmore of indie rap, including Atmosphere, Black Milk, ILL BILL, Organized Konfusion, Talib Kweli, Madlib and Kool Keith to name only a few. Now headquartered on the west coast, Fat Beats remains a crucial part of NYC Hip-Hop history. In celebration of Fat Beats' 30th Anniversary, guest curator and the voice and personality of Spotify's AI DJ, Xavier "X" Jernigan, introduces the premiere of the new Fat Beats documentary film, accompanied by an opening set from a Fat Beats DJ and followed by a talk back panel, from the names that made the scene come to life.

Theater | The Imaginary Invalid: Moliere's Comedy-Ballet Starring Broadway Actor


Argan is ill. But is he? Argan is dying. But aren't we all? Argan wants absolute control. But is that ever achievable? After a series of upside down attempts to snap him out of it, a solution is found. But will it save him? The Imaginary Invalid is the last play that legendary French playwright Moliere wrote and was originally conceived as a Comedy-Ballet where theater, dance, and music are intertwined. It explores the fear of disease and the exploitation it breeds through infinitely humorous dialogue and in-your-face satire. This production will feature original choreography by FlexN dancer Cal Hunt, original music by cellist Johnathan Moore, and stars Tony and Olivier Award nominee Sahr Ngaujah. Director and Translator: Lucie Tiberghien Choreographer and Dancer: Cal Hunt Composer and Cellist: Johnathan Moore Cast: Dante Bonner, Mary Bacon, Rory Furey-King, Doron JePaul, Naomi Lorrain, Sahr Ngaujah, Shayvawn Webster

Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, seeking to uncover the experiences of Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Theater | The Imaginary Invalid: Moliere's Comedy-Ballet Starring Broadway Actor


Argan is ill. But is he? Argan is dying. But aren't we all? Argan wants absolute control. But is that ever achievable? After a series of upside down attempts to snap him out of it, a solution is found. But will it save him? The Imaginary Invalid is the last play that legendary French playwright Moliere wrote and was originally conceived as a Comedy-Ballet where theater, dance, and music are intertwined. It explores the fear of disease and the exploitation it breeds through infinitely humorous dialogue and in-your-face satire. This production will feature original choreography by FlexN dancer Cal Hunt, original music by cellist Johnathan Moore, and stars Tony and Olivier Award nominee Sahr Ngaujah. Director and Translator: Lucie Tiberghien Choreographer and Dancer: Cal Hunt Composer and Cellist: Johnathan Moore Cast: Dante Bonner, Mary Bacon, Rory Furey-King, Doron JePaul, Naomi Lorrain, Sahr Ngaujah, Shayvawn Webster

Theater | The Imaginary Invalid: Moliere's Comedy-Ballet Starring Broadway Actor


Argan is ill. But is he? Argan is dying. But aren't we all? Argan wants absolute control. But is that ever achievable? After a series of upside down attempts to snap him out of it, a solution is found. But will it save him?

Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, seeking to uncover the experiences of Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors


In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would serve as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Each tour is one hour, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session with an assigned docent. Start times: 10:30 am, 12 pm, 1:30 pm

Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, seeking to uncover the experiences of Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Talk | The Scope of Book Criticism: How Wide Should Critics Reach?


When a critic reviews a novel today, she often enjoys easy access to a large raft of supplemental texts: interviews with the author, essays they’ve written, podcasts they’ve been on, their social media presence, their personal blog, even the value of their house.

Talk | Dance Historian on the Legacy of the Dance of Isadora Duncan (In Person AND Online!)


Lori Belilove, artistic director and founder of the Isadora Duncan Dance Foundation & Company, has worked to pass on Duncan's grace, power, and mastery of weight to future generations. Belilove received direct instruction from Duncan's original troupe of six young dancers, known as her "Isadorables." The group included Anna Duncan, born Anna Denzler, who was one of the most dedicated of the six--she never studied another dance technique, and was called "a key keeper of the flame." In this program, Belilove explores the life story of Anna Duncan through images and rare films, from Anna's early age of five auditioning for Isadora Duncan's school in Grunewald, Germany to her last days as a saleswoman at Saks Fifth Avenue and Brentano's bookstore. The program honors her contribution to the legacy of Isadora Duncan with surprise performances that were Anna's signature.

Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, inspired by the legacy of Anna May Wong and seeking to uncover the experiences of other Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Discussion | Israel on Our Minds with Ambassador Ido Aharoni (in-person and online)


Even those of us who follow the news from Israeli regularly are left with more questions than insight: How should we think about Israel security in the face of a rapidly changing Middle East? What is the government doing in response to the worldwide condemnation of the Jewish State . . . and what could it do? Has the Start-Up Nation sputtered out? Can the breach between the religious and the secular populations be healed — and how? Does the Israeli government take the concerns and opinions of the Jewish diaspora seriously enough? Should it? With so many questions — and so much confusion — they have recruited the ideal person to pull back the curtain on the complicated situation: an Israel diplomat, university professor, writer and investor, Ido Aharoni.

Classical Music | Lute Works by Michelagnolo Galilei and his Contemporaries: Blending Italian Baroque and Brise (In Person AND Online!)


Richard Kolb, 10-course lute, performs a program of Michelagnolo Galilei and his contemporaries, focusing on pieces that elegantly combine features of the early Italian Baroque with the distinctive style developed by French lutenists commonly referred to as brise. This program will contrast Galilei's music with the characteristically Italian style of his contemporary Alessandro Piccinini, and the French music of Robert Ballard.Differences between Italian and French styles were endlessly discussed throughout the 17th century, but few attempts were made to combine features of both styles before the early 18th century, with Michelangelo Galilei's music was an exception.

Author Reading | Author Talk & Book Discussion on Audition by Katie Kitamura (In Person AND Online!)


At this book club/author talk, the book will be Katie Kitamura's Audition, an exhilarating, destabilizing Mobius strip of a novel that asks whether we ever really know the people we love. Synopsis: Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She's an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He's attractive, troubling, young--young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? In this compulsively readable, brilliantly constructed novel, two competing narratives unspool, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day - partner, parent, creator, muse - and the truths every performance masks, especially from those who think they know us most intimately. The author and readers everywhere will join a live conversation, in-person or online.

Discussion | Understanding the Influence of Broadway Scenic Designer Robin Wagner


Robin Wagner was one of the most inventive and prolific scenic designers on Broadway in the last decades of the 20th century. From the deceptively simple set of A Chorus Line, which allowed for the use of Tharon Musser’s first-of-a-kind computerized lighting design, to the boundary pushing automated scenery in Dreamgirls, Wagner helped to bring scenic design into the digital age. In 2023, months before his death, Wagner released his papers and designs, and they are now processed and available for researchers to use. Several of Wagner’s closest colleagues gather for a panel discussion of Wagner’s influence on the artform to celebrate his gift and his remarkable career.

Screening | Documentary with Director Q&A: 50 Children: The Rescue Mission of Mr. and Mrs. Kraus


In the spring of 1939, a Jewish couple from Philadelphia traveled into the heart of Nazi Germany to carry out a daring mission – rescuing Jewish children from the oncoming horrors of the Holocaust and bringing them to safety in the United States. Nominated for an Emmy award for Outstanding Historical Programming, 50 Children tells the never-before-told story of Gilbert and Eleanor Kraus and how they were able to save the lives of a group of young children who otherwise would likely have perished in the Holocaust. Following the screening, there will be a talkback with the film’s director and producer, Steven Pressman.

Concert | Voices of a People’s History: Performance Based on Howard Zinn's Books


The works of Brooklyn-born author and historian Howard Zinn (1922–2010), particularly the classic bestsellers A People's History of the United States and Voices of a People’s History of the United States, continue to shine a light on the extraordinary history of those engaged in struggles for freedom and justice in America. Voices of a People's History, a non-profit organization of artists and educators who seek to keep Zinn's message of grassroots egalitarianism alive. The heroic voices featured in Zinn's books will be brought to life in performance by a chorus of young student activists who have been mentored by artist-activists to find personal meaning in these timeless texts. Using the words of the rebels, dissenters, and visionaries of our past and present as a blueprint, this evening will inspire us all to take collective action to shape our future.

Talk | The Future of American-Russian Relations (In Person AND Online!)


The war in Ukraine has put the United States’ relationship with Russia at a crossroads. How should the US respond to Putin? Is Vladimir Putin’s Russia a long-term adversary of the United States? Or should the Trump administration normalize relations with Russia, and bring it back into the group of leading nations? That debate is one of the single most important challenges facing the Trump administration as it works to end the war in Ukraine and reset relations with Moscow. Critics of the administration argue that Russian aggression remains a threat not only to Ukraine, but to NATO and the US itself. What kind of US-Russia relationship is in our national interest? What concessions to Moscow, if any, should we push for in Ukraine to achieve peace? And how can the US lead the way toward peace and diplomacy? PBS NewsHour’s Nick Schifrin moderates this vital conversation between Evelyn Farkas, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia in the Obama Administration, who argues for continued US support for Ukraine — warning that there are dangers of a rushed Ukraine-Russia Peace Deal — and Thomas Graham, distinguished fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and former senior director for Russia on the National Security Council, who believes the Trump administration is right to take steps to restore normal diplomatic relations with Russia. Take part in this timely, important conversation about the road to peace in Ukraine — and how the US and Russia will share the world stage.

Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, inspired by the legacy of Anna May Wong and seeking to uncover the experiences of other Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Movie in a Park | Identity, Migration, and Memory: Three Short Documentaries Exploring American Chinatowns


Luka Yuanyuan Yang is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice, characterized by interwoven documentary and archival materials, addresses themes of identity, migration, and memory, challenging conventional historical narratives and amplifying overlooked voices. During a year-long research trip across the US in 2018, Yang was captivated by the rich history of migration and adaptation in America's Chinatowns. From 1882 until the 1950s, due to the Chinese Exclusion Act and racial discrimination, Chinese Americans were largely confined to Chinatowns. During this same period, Yang began researching the stories of Chinese women in 20th-century American performing arts, seeking to uncover the experiences of Chinese women performers whose stories have been forgotten or misunderstood by history. Yang's exploration of these neighborhoods, the Chinese diaspora, and performing artists has become the central focus of her short films and feature film Chinatown Cha-Cha, and her recently published artist book Dance in Herland. In a time of rising threats to America's Chinatowns, the artist brings generations together through film, dance, and dialogue. For this screening, Yang presents Tales of Chinatown, an exhibition of three of her short films: Cantonese Tunes on Mott Street (2022), The Lady From Shanghai (2019), and Tales of Chinatown (2019). By following her protagonists on the streets, through their communities, and into their homes, Yang amplifies the voices of those often denied the chance to share their own stories--individuals who have been forgotten, silenced, or misinterpreted.

Sally became the first American woman to blast off into space, but beneath her unflappable composure she kept her fully authentic self from the flashing lightbulbs and cameras. Revealing the romance and sacrifices of their 27 years together, Sally’s life partner Tam O’Shaughnessy shares the full story for the first time of this complex and iconic astronaut. Directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Cristina Costantini, Sally combines dynamic archival footage, a marvelous soundtrack, and deeply personal testimonials to tell the full, unapologetic truth of an American pioneer.  RSVP DOES NOT GUARANTEE ENTRY. SEATING IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. IN THE EVENT OF RAIN, SHOW WILL BE RESCHEDULED AT THE SAME LOCATION. NO ALCOHOL IS PERMITTED.

Play | Shakespeare Comedy in the Park


“This is the way Shakespeare wrote his plays to be seen.” –The Huffington Post Get swept up in one of Shakespeare’s boldest romantic comedies with New York Classical Theatre! Written around 1604, All’s Well That Ends Well is one of Shakespeare’s boldest romantic comedies. When Helena—a brilliant, determined young woman—heals a king, she earns the right to choose her husband. But love isn’t so simple, and she must use wit, courage, and a daring plan to win the life she desires. Full of humor, heart, and twists, this rarely performed gem is a story of love on Helena’s terms. New York Classical Theatre’s signature style, Panoramic Theatre, turns public spaces into the world of the play. Instead of sitting in one place, the audience moves with the actors from scene to scene, following the action as it unfolds.

Battery Dance, a lower Manhattan–based dance company, held a public dance festival at the World Trade Center Plaza every year between 1982 and 2001. Just two weeks after the 9/11 attacks, the company presented a spontaneous performance entitled Pavilion at the Franklin Street subway station on the cusp of the “frozen zone." Founder and Artistic Director of Battery Dance Jonathan Hollander, Dancer Tadej Brdnik, Composer and Tabla Player Samir Chatterjee, and Composer and World Percussionist Yousif Sheronick, reflect on the importance of the performance and what it means almost 25 years later. The discussion will be followed by a re-staged performance of Pavilion by Kar'mel Small.

Lecture | Living with Wildfire: Learn from Climate Expert


Wildfires are no longer a seasonal threat--they're a year-round reality. As the climate changes, fires are becoming more frequent, intense, and unpredictable, raising urgent questions about how we can better prepare and adapt. At this event, Toddi Steelman, a leading expert on wildland fires and vice president and vice provost for climate and sustainability at Duke University, explains how wildfires, climate change, and humans interact. Steelman will break down the fundamental drivers of wildfires and explain how climate change is amplifying each of these factors. Through real-world case studies, from the devastating fires in Lahaina and Los Angeles to the broader patterns shaping our landscapes, Steelman will explore not just the risks but also potential measures towards mitigation and adaptation. How can individuals, neighborhoods, and entire communities take action? What strategies, from home hardening to large-scale fuel management, can help us coexist with fire in a warming world? While the challenges are immense, there are also stories of resilience and hope. This discussion offers a critical perspective on the future of fire and what we can do together to live with wildfire. Ages 21+ only.

Author Reading | Learning about the New Jewish School of Music with Researcher & Author (Online!)


The history of the “New Jewish School of Music” began when several music students from the St. Petersburg Conservatory founded the Society for Jewish Folk Music in St. Petersburg in 1908. The end of this movement came with the 1938 invasion of Austria by Germany and the dissolution of the Viennese Society for the Promotion of Jewish Music that same year. The fascinating and dramatic history of the New Jewish School is the subject of From St. Petersburg to Vienna: The New Jewish School in Music (1908-1938) As Part of the Jewish Cultural Renaissance by Jascha Nemtsov. While many other national "schools" of music—such as the Russian, Czech, and Hungarian—were able to develop freely and establish themselves in an environment of cultural transparency, the Jewish school was violently suppressed. From St. Petersburg to Vienna was first published in 2004 in German, focusing on the reconstruction of the Jewish school’s historical development in Russia and, after 1917, increasingly in other Eastern and Central European countries. Attend a discussion with Nemtsov about this recently-revised and translated edition of the book.

Opening Reception | A Vivid Exploration of Emotional Heat Through Art: Color Inferno


Color Inferno gathers artists whose works combust with raw energy, transforming color from mere decoration into a force of sensation, memory, and chaos.

Featured artists include Maria Regina Garciga, Ellen Globokar, Paul Blumenthal, Karl Wilkes, Joanne Syrop, Courtney Muller, Sequoia Krystosfersson, Spencer Frazer, Isabelle De Marco, Harry Burleigh, and Sherri Springer.

Play | Shakespeare Comedy in the Park


“This is the way Shakespeare wrote his plays to be seen.” –The Huffington Post Get swept up in one of Shakespeare’s boldest romantic comedies with New York Classical Theatre! Written around 1604, All’s Well That Ends Well is one of Shakespeare’s boldest romantic comedies. When Helena—a brilliant, determined young woman—heals a king, she earns the right to choose her husband. But love isn’t so simple, and she must use wit, courage, and a daring plan to win the life she desires. Full of humor, heart, and twists, this rarely performed gem is a story of love on Helena’s terms. New York Classical Theatre’s signature style, Panoramic Theatre, turns public spaces into the world of the play. Instead of sitting in one place, the audience moves with the actors from scene to scene, following the action as it unfolds. This immersive approach creates a dynamic, interactive experience where every performance is shaped by its surroundings.

The event takes place on opening night of CQ’s 2025 Pride Festival, Queer Ancestry, and is curated by superstar countertenor Reginald Mobley and CQ co-founders. It asks: whose histories inform the way we play and perceive Baroque music, and what would it mean to center performers’ voices and stories? Featuring music by composers ranging from George Frideric Handel and Jean-Baptiste Lully to Julius Eastman and Caroline Shaw, the program celebrates queer perspectives that have shaped the early music revival and influenced generations of boundary-breaking artists.

Concert | Story & Song Performance with Broadway Alumni


Chris Peters and Madeline Benson each arrived in New York City with a passion for story and song. Benson soon made history as the youngest woman to conduct on Broadway when she served as a conductor for Sara Bareilles' Waitress. Peters quickly became a favorite performer at downtown spots like Rockwood Music Hall and Pete's Candy Store as well as a sideman and producer for a new generation of singer-songwriters. They first collaborated as arrangers, orchestrators, and performers for the late luminary Gavin Creel's Walk On Through. Since then, Benson has been tapped to adapt the upcoming stage version of Disney's Tangled alongside composer Alan Menken. Their performance will feature music from Benson's just-released freshman album, produced by Peters, selections from Peters' and Creel's catalogs, and other favorites from their folk and theater roots. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track, opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Play | New, Original Musical Comedy Satirizing Work Culture


This event is the first public presentation of a piece developed during an NYPL incubator program, Face to Face, by fellowship recipients Emily Drossell, George Luton, and Cameron Reese! How far would you go to avoid a meeting? When an overworked and undervalued employee turns down a request for a post-mortem, a chain reaction of epic proportions is set in motion, much to her chagrin. Navigating revolution, romance, and a whole lot of red tape, she quickly discovers that the office life she knew before has been changed forever. Face to Face is 90 minutes of absurdist musical comedy that satirizes work, commitment, and the burning desire to skip that meeting.

Talk | Exploring the Art of Jan Vermeer: Master of Domestic Scenes


This talk examines the life and work of Jan Vermeer (1632-1675). Vermeer’s 34 known paintings are still life with human beings. The majority of his paintings are serene and beautiful images of domestic life, usually one or two or three figures in a room lit from the viewer’s left. He shows precision in the painting of texture, color and form without looking labored. Mondrian, Picasso, and Dali all echo his work. Speaker Eleanor K. Sypher has volunteered her extensive skills in a series of talks on art history. Eleanor is well-acquainted with ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Byzantium, The Italian Renaissance, The Baroque in Italy and Holland, Rococo in France, the Impressionists, and European and American artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Her career has involved teaching, book editing, and directing a foundation for 25 years.

Author Reading | A Musical Journey Across Cultures


Blending memoir and musical history, From the Bronx to the Bosphorus uncovers the vibrant, multicultural music scene of post-WWII New York. Feldman traces his journey from the East European klezmorim of the Bronx to the Armenian and Greek nightclubs of Manhattan, and ultimately to the klezmer revival of the late 1970s. Along the way, he encounters musicians from a range of traditions--including an Armenian virtuoso who once played for Stalin and the Shah of Iran--and studies with Dave Tarras, the greatest klezmer clarinetist of his generation. Rich with personal stories and cultural insight, this book is a celebration of music's power to connect communities across time and place.

Concert | Emmy-Winning Composer Adrian Younge and His 35-Piece Orchestra


Adrian Younge isn’t just a composer—he’s a sonic architect, a time traveler weaving together past and future through lush, cinematic soundscapes. An Emmy-winning composer, he’s shaped the sound of modern music, whether scoring the cult classic Black Dynamite, crafting dusty soul loops for Wu-Tang Clan and Kendrick Lamar, or reshaping jazz history with Jazz Is Dead. His work pulses with deep intention, blending the raw grit of vintage soul with the grandeur of orchestral arrangements.

A decade and a half in the making, this final installment cements Younge’s legacy as a leading expert of psychedelic soul and orchestral storytelling.

Festival | Juneteenth Celebration: African & African-American Folklore


This Juneteenth celebration draws inspiration from the rich traditions of African and African-American folklore. The event explores themes of cultural identity, societal norms, and significant historical events through the lens of African folklore, which often tells stories of resilience and the unyielding human spirit in the face of slavery's challenges. Key figures in these narratives include Anansi the spider, Br'er Rabbit, Uncle Junus, Uncle Monday, High John the Conqueror, and Sankofa, a mythical bird depicted with an egg in its beak, facing forward with its feet while looking back. This imagery represents the importance of preserving collective memory as a source of cultural identity that transcends both time and place. The influence of African folklore on modern storytelling is significant, with its lasting themes, archetypes, and moral lessons inspiring countless writers, artists, and scholars over the centuries. The Oh Sankofa! celebration at Lincoln Center honors this rich legacy, engaging the audience through music, choral performances, dance, animal tales, slave narratives, and educational fables that celebrate a rich cultural heritage and pay tribute to human endurance in the face of adversity and hardship. Featured artists include actress/comedian Phyllis Stickney; multimedia artist Vinson Fraley; dancer and Urban Bush Women Co-Artistic Director Chanon Judson; blue jazz guitarist Marvin Sewell; and the Etienne Lashley choir. Entry includes admission to the 6:00 performance and the 7:30 show.

Play | Shakespeare Comedy in the Park (Family Night)


"This is the way Shakespeare wrote his plays to be seen." -The Huffington Post Get swept up in one of Shakespeare's boldest romantic comedies with New York Classical Theatre! Written around 1604, All's Well That Ends Well is one of Shakespeare's boldest romantic comedies.

Full of humor, heart, and twists, this rarely performed gem is a story of love on Helena's terms. New York Classical Theatre's signature style, Panoramic Theatre, turns public spaces into the world of the play. Instead of sitting in one place, the audience moves with the actors from scene to scene, following the action as it unfolds. This immersive approach creates a dynamic, interactive experience where every performance is shaped by its surroundings. This performance is designed for kids and grown-ups alike! Come at 6:30 p.m. to make your own crown/tiara and scepter to help you feel like royalty while watching this bold, funny tale unfold.

Concert | 2-Part Show: Multi-Dimensional Classical Quartet & Jazz Soloist


The Ivalas Quartet will perform a selection of works by contemporary voices whose perspectives are leaving an indelible mark on our world, including Jessie Montgomery, Carlos Simon, and Eleanor Alberga. Hailed by The Strad for playing with “tremendous heart and beauty,” the Ivalas Quartet has been changing the face of classical music since its inception in 2017 with a mission to enrich the classical music world by spotlighting past and present BIPOC composers alongside the standard repertory.  Swiss jazz pianist, composer, and visual artist Léo Tardin presents a multi-sensorial performance with both sonic and pictorial content, bringing his own drawings to life with music. The vignettes in Léo Tardin's Le piano illustré oscillate between intricate floral and plant motifs inspired by his surroundings in the countryside of Geneva and psychedelic sketches. The visuals move in real time in dialogue and response to Tardin's solo piano improvisational jazz pieces. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served.

Concert | Celebration of Women behind Celebrated Music: Ms. Bobbye Hall, Vanessa Carlton, & More


What's your favorite song? There's a good chance a woman played on it. This concert celebrates the women behind many of pop, rock, and soul's biggest successes: studio and touring musicians, women in bands, and artists who aren't only stellar singers but also killer instrumental powerhouses. From the classic rock and soul era, through the indie and folk hitmakers of the '80s, the Lilith Fair stars and backing band members for Missy Elliott in the '90s, onward to modern 21st-century innovators, women instrumentalists have always stood at the center of music. An all-star, all-women band of musical virtuosos—including Wendy and Lisa of Prince and the Revolution, Ms. Bobbye Hall (Marvin Gaye, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks), Scarlet Rivera (Bob Dylan), and many more—will join music critic Ann Powers for an evening featuring an exciting cast of vocalists, as they interpret some of the great songs that women made memorable.

Tour | Dance Theatre Workshop Exhibition: A Place for Creativity & Experimentation


Take a tour of a Dance Theatre Workshop exhibition to learn how Dance Theater Workshop grew from a need for space into a lasting model of support for artists. Dance Theater Workshop provided not only space to create, but also offered classes and professional development for artists, subsidized video recordings of performances, and gave artists administrative support. For many individual artists, it was the first time that they did not have to manage every aspect of a production by themselves, and this freed up time for creativity and experimentation. Over time, Dance Theater Workshop became a crucial venue for artists in the downtown scene. A number of choreographers now well known all over the world, including Mark Morris, Donald Byrd, Bebe Miller, and Bill T. Jones, all got their start at the Dance Theater Workshop. Dance Theater Workshop also provided funds and initiatives that helped these artists travel and exhibit their work outside of New York, and brought regional artists to the city. They also created the Bessie Awards, which recognize outstanding and groundbreaking creative work by independent dance artists in New York City.

Classical Music | Minimalist Music Suite Exploring Freedom & Structure: New York Premiere


A New York premiere and co-production between AMOC* and Sandbox Percussion, Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt’s Canto Ostinato feels like the long-lost cousin of beloved American Minimalist works like Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians or Terry Riley’s In C. Encountering it for the first time is like meeting an unknown relative—you’re struck by uncanny resemblances: the tilt of a nose, the rhythm of a laugh, echoes that stretch across time and space. With AMOC* members Matthew Aucoin, Conor Hanick, and Jonny Allen alongside Sandbox, Canto Ostinato radiates the warmth, spaciousness, and quiet luminosity of the best minimalist music. It offers both freedom and structure: a world shaped by softly chiming pulses and deeply satisfying harmonic shifts, where performers navigate personal interpretation within a familiar framework. For some, the piece may evoke the stillness of sacred music; for others, it feels like an invitation to collective meditation. Beloved in the Netherlands, where it premiered, Canto Ostinato holds a universal appeal that invites discovery far beyond its homeland—its patient, shifting light promises to resonate just as profoundly with audiences everywhere. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Symposium | Abstractions: Women & Art in the Post-War Americas (In Person AND Online!)


This is the first day of a two-day symposium exploring the contributions of women to postwar abstraction across the Americas. The program will feature speakers presenting a range of perspectives including a keynote presentation by Mónica Amor. All sessions will be live streamed. Full schedule to be announced soon. This symposium is organized in conjunction with the exhibition Fanny Sanín: Geometric Equations curated by Edward J. Sullivan. Sanín's sustained and powerful engagement with geometric abstraction since her move to New York from Colombia in 1971 stands as a testament to how artists like her persevered in their formal investigations, despite facing exclusion from the art world and navigating its ever-evolving trends. This symposium is meant to foster a dialogue and comparison of the practices of postwar women-identifying artists from diverse geographies and contexts, all who dealt in the realm of abstraction.

Book Club | Read & Discuss a New, Exciting Play: Hir by Taylor Mac


Whether you are familiar with the art of reading plays, or looking to expand your appreciation for dramatic literature, this book club is an opportunity to read plays you have been meaning to explore or have never considered reading before.

This group will read one playscript every month, and then come together to discuss the work. Attendees will read one scene from the play together and discuss the text in a book club discussion format. This meeting's book is Hir by Taylor Mac. Hir tells the story of Isaac, recently returned home from the wars after being discharged from the Marines under suspicious circumstances, only to find the life he remembers upended. Isaac's father, who once ruled the family with an iron fist, has had a debilitating stroke; his younger sister, Maxine, is now his brother, Max; and their mother, Paige, is committed to revolution at any cost. Determined to be free of any responsibility toward her formerly abusive husband—or the home he created—Paige fervently believes she can lead the way to a ”new world order.”

Full of humor, heart, and twists, this rarely performed gem is a story of love on Helena's terms. At this location, the organizers offer "Take-a-Seat" week, where the audience stays in one fixed location--ideal for those with mobility challenges.
