Discussion | Panel of Experts Discuss the Benefits of Collective Singing (+ Orchestral Performance of Works by William Grant Still & George Gershwin)


Bringing together voices from music, neuroscience, public health, and community practice, this event explores how collective singing can be understood not only as cultural expression, but as a scalable public health resource. Audiences are invited to reflect on how raising our voices together can help build healthier bodies, stronger relationships, and more connected communities. What if singing together were recognized as a shared health practice for individuals and communities? Collective singing is one of the most powerful wellbeing practices humans share. From lullabies and community choirs to spontaneous public song, singing together is a universal behavior linked to stress reduction, improved mood, social bonding, and physiological regulation. A growing body of research shows that group singing can support mental wellbeing, reduce loneliness, and strengthen social connection—protective factors central to World Health Organization (WHO) priorities for population health and noncommunicable disease prevention.  This event will begin with members of the Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center playing selections from William Grant Still's Motherless Child and George Gershwin's Lullaby.

Staged Reading | Dalloway: First Love -- Pop-Period Prequel to Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway


Dalloway: First Love is a feminist, queer-positive play. Clarissa, a bookish Victorian young woman, auditions a slew of suitors to save her family from financial ruin, while an unexpected romance with a socialite suffragette dares her heart to forge a brave new path. Through humorous, quippy banter and heartfelt confessions, the play touches on many pressing contemporary issues—including bodily autonomy, mental health visibility, multicultural equity and inclusion, and LGBTQ+ acceptance and legal protection—that resonate with contemporary New Yorkers. Written by Lindsay Joelle. Directed by Olivia Facini Cast: Lucas Iverson, Sarah Lasko, Omar Shafiuzzaman, and Chloé Lexia Worthington.

Classical Music | as yet untitled: Melodic, Rhythmic, & Energetic Original Composition


British percussionist Bex Burch’s as yet untitled is a composition-in-collaboration will feature rombonist and Arthur Russell collaborator Peter Zummo; Chicago connections drummer Mikel Patrick Avery and cellist Lia Kohl; and New York-based bassist Carmen Quill and saxophonist Gabriel Birnbaum. The performance weaves together threads from the major movements of Burch’s life, from her formative study of the Dagaare gyil (a type of xylophone central to the music of the Dagaare people of northwest Ghana and southern Burkina Faso) to communing with musicians and audiences in London, Chicago, New York and Berlin, where she now lives and works. A deeply embodied performer with a palpable, physical presence on her homemade xylophone, drums, bells, shakers, voice and various other instruments, Burch balances a disarming openness with focused intention. In as yet untitled, the melodic, rhythmic and energetic materials of the score provide the framework and trust for the improvisational, emotional structures that emerge from each group’s unique combination of members, all of whom sing in addition to playing their instruments. Lyrical multi-instrumentalist and composer Tomin will open the evening with a solo set for flute and sampler.

Workshop | Embroidery with Social Commentary Workshop: Slow, Shared Practice


Artist Cinthya Santos-Briones invites you to participate in a collective embroidery workshop and stitching circle that explores contemporary narratives of migration in the United States. Participants will embroider phrases drawn from news reports, headlines, and press archives related to the current anti-immigrant political climate. Through the slow, shared practice of embroidery, the group will transform words designed for immediate media consumption into a space for dialogue, critical reflection, and collective witness. Inspired by Chilean arpilleras, Mexico’s Bordados por la Paz collectives, and other Latin American practices that have used textiles to denounce state violence and forced disappearances, the project approaches embroidery as a tool for memory, collective witness, and community repair. The workshop will be co-facilitated by María José Prudente, a Mixtec Indigenous embroiderer, language rights advocate, attorney, and interpreter in immigration courts. All materials will be provided, and no prior embroidery experience is required. The workshop will be bilingual (Spanish and English).

Musical | The Root of It All: A Dentist’s Tale -- Surreal, Satirical Comedy Musical


In a fantastical dream, the dentist enters a surreal world where dancing teeth, an activist Tooth Fairy, and a chorus of very “patient” patients battle the moral decay threatening America’s ideals. With ICE agents emerging from giant cavities as symbols of fear and division, the dentist envisions a quest to “root out” hatred instead of people. A brigade of unlikely heroes invokes the nation’s immigrant heritage–from its earliest settlers to generations of newcomers–celebrating America’s diversity, compassion, and shared humanity. The historic wisdom of the United States promises a future in which the cavities of war are filled with hope and the promise of cooperation and peace. The community awakens from its nightmare inspired and unites to protect its neighbors and secure the child’s release. The music will vary in style from Bossa Nova to Hip Hop to Musical Comedy to classical Cantata. The play is a bouncy joyride through the undulations of the body politic, with astute commentary couched in satire, song, and slapstick. Book, lyrics, and direction by Crystal Field. Music composed and arranged by Peter Dizozza.

Film | Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980): Psychological Horror Film with Jack Nicholson & Shelley Duvall


A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter, where a sinister presence influences the father into violence. At the same time, his psychic son sees horrifying forebodings from both the past and the future. Director: Stanley Kubrick Cast: Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers, Danny Lloyd Stanley Kubrick was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and photographer. Widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, his films were nearly all adaptations of novels or short stories, spanning a number of genres and gaining recognition for their intense attention to detail, innovative cinematography, extensive set design, and dark humor. While many of Kubrick's films were controversial and initially received mixed reviews upon release, most were nominated for Academy Awards, Golden Globes, or BAFTA Awards, and underwent critical re-evaluations. Jack Nicholson is an American retired actor and filmmaker. Nicholson is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of the 20th century. Throughout his five-decade career he received numerous accolades, including three Academy Awards, three BAFTA Film Awards, six Golden Globe Awards, and a Grammy Award. He also received the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award in 1994 and the Kennedy Center Honor in 2001. Shelley Duvall was an American actress and producer widely known for her portrayal of distinctive, often eccentric characters. In the 1980s, Duvall became famous for her leading roles, which include Olive Oyl in Altman's live-action feature version of Popeye (1980) and Wendy Torrance in Stanley Kubrick's horror film The Shining (1980).

Concert | Trio of Rising Latin Hip-Hop Artists in the Park


Three Latin artists take the stage. Of the various figures in the red-hot Argentinian rap scene, one is Trueno, the son of Uruguayan rapper Peligro and a veteran of the scene's battle rap circuit. He's released several solo albums, collaborated with the likes of Bad Gyal, Feid, and J Balvin, and is responsible for one of the Argentinian rap scene's biggest hits in 2020's "Mamichula." He's joined by Milo J, who leveraged his viral hit "Milagrosa" into collaborations with Nicki Nicole, Duki, and Peso Pluma. His latest LP, La Vida Era Mas Corta, saw him take a hard left turn into art-pop, fusing Argentine folklore with urban and experimental sounds. Opening the show is the dynamic Dominican rapper J Noa, a nimble-tongued MC with a rapid-fire flow who gave a well-regarded NPR Tiny Desk performance, her first outside of her own neighborhood in the Dominican Republic.

The stage welcomes two takes on the progressive sounds of Chinese pop. The K-pop boy band NCT is so massive that it's become its own ecosystem, spinning off members into their own sub-groups that establish their own voice. WayV are the fourth such to spin off--and its first China-based collective--recording pop songs that fuse hip-hop and dance with R&B-stylized vocals sung in Mandarin since their 2019 debut EP, The Vision. They're joined by THE EITHER, formed in New York in 2017. Their sound -- Post-Orientalism -- rebuilds Eastern elements for today, blending electrified traditional instruments, Chinese opera-inspired vocals, progressive rock energy, and compositions with a strong Eastern melodic identity into a bold, future-facing performance.
