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.

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.

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.

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. Now, he's bringing his most ambitious project yet--Something About April III--to life with a 35-piece orchestra and special guests, performing not just the new album but also selections from the first two volumes of the April trilogy. 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. Kicking off the night is none other than J.Rocc, founder of the legendary Beat Junkies, setting the tone with an opening DJ set. This is more than a concert--it's a moment in music history. Be there to witness it first. 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.

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.

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.
