Jazz | Charlie Parker Jazz Festival in the Park


The newly minted (2023) Jazz Master Louis Hayes is joined by some of the more impressive talents in modern jazz. Hayes, a one-time member of McCoy Tyner's trio, has been leading bands since he was a teenager in 1950s Detroit, recorded with John Coltrane and Yusef Lateer, and did stints in quartets with Horace Silver and Cannonball Adderley, as well as time with the Oscar Peterson Trio. He's supported by the 24-year-old Cameroonian-American jazz vocalist Ekep Nkwelle, a Juilliard grad and rising star of Jazz at Lincoln Center; and Alexis Lombre, the Chicago-born pianist, vocalist, and composer whose 2017 debut Southside Sounds pays homage to her home's artistic and cultural heritage. The bill also features a performance from SuperBlue, the genre bending collaboration between Kurt Elling--one of jazz's preeminent male vocalists--and Charlie Hunter, the guitar virtuoso who plays a custom hybrid guitar that allows him to play bass lines, chords, and melodies simultaneously. They're supported by the high-energy, Brooklyn-based Huntertones Horns. Multi-talented DJ and host of WBGO's podcast Milestones DJ KulturedChild aka Angelika Beener is on the ones and twos.

Screening | Metropolitan Opera in HD: Verdi's Nabucco (outdoors)


Ancient Babylon comes to life in a classic Met staging of biblical proportions. Baritone George Gagnidze sings the role of the imperious Babylonian king Nabucco, alongside Ukrainian soprano Liudmyla Monastyrska, who reprises her thrilling turn as his vengeful daughter Abigaille. Mezzo-soprano Maria Barakova and tenor SeokJong Baek, in his company debut, are Fenena and Ismaele, and bass Dmitry Belosselskiy repeats his celebrated portrayal of the high priest Zaccaria. Daniele Callegari conducts Verdi's early masterpiece, which features the ultimate showcase for the great Met Chorus, the moving "Va, pensiero." This performance is from January 6, 2024.
