Opening Reception | Sky Marks | Landmarks: Curator's Tour
This exhibition looks at all the structures in New York designated as individual landmarks that are "skyscrapers." They count about 84. Just as the definition of characteristics that qualify a building to be a landmark is fairly vague - architectural, historical, or cultural significance - the show's definition of skyscraper is somewhat subjective. "Significantly taller than a cube" is a baseline, but a minimum number of stories is not. The earliest high-rises of the 1880s to 1900s that were ten to twenty stories were clearly skyscrapers in their day and so are included. Today the 102-story Empire State Building is the city's tallest individual landmark.

With seven studio albums published and over 15 international tours, she presents her most recent work, La Curiosidad. A simple cumbia/salsa style invites the audience to free themselves from opression through the exercise of curiosity as the key to self-determination. Following this inspiration, the artist prepared for international circulation in 2022 with tours of the USA, Canada, and Europe under the name "La Curiosidad Tour 2022," which celebrated 10 years of her first international tour. The Chilean artist invites audience members to meet again and discover her new music, which for the first half of 2022 also includes the release of a new album with songs that mix rhythms of popular festivals from Latin America with her characteristic accordion and brass sounds and a lyrical socially committed around feminism and social movements.

Play | Bowie in Warsaw: Pop Star on the Prowl
The women of Warsaw tremble with the rumor of a strangler on the prowl. Behind their fear, unspoken secrets and traumas begin to surface. Set in the landscape of a true crime story from 1970s Poland, Bowie in Warsaw is an absurd comedy about the repression of self-expression and love in the Soviet era. Playwright Dorota Maslowska constructs a fantastical and baroque world to be one day visited by none other than David Bowie himself. Presented by Trap Door Theatre. The performance is followed by a talkback.

Performance | Follow the Machine: Performance Art
Follow the Machine is a multimedia exhibition and show by Pexelmouth exploring how putting our utmost faith into machines is helping/hurting us. The power dynamics between user and machine have become unclear - constantly reversing roles between servant and master. What happens when we let go of our own knowledge and Follow the Machine? The machines are often functioning at a different level from our own understanding, being both literal and proverbial black boxes whose inner workings are too complex to understand. From our perspective, the output of the machine is seemingly random, and why it chooses what it does is almost divine. The Mandarin character for “randomness” can be directly translated to “Follow the Machine”, trusting that the machine has the answer to whatever question we have, the machine itself has become a modern oracle.

Program Jean Sibelius (1865-1957), Violin Concerto Julia Wolfe (1958-present), unEarth About the Performers The New York Philharmonic, one of the leading world orchestras, was founded in 1842 by the American conductor Ureli Corelli Hill, with the aid of the Irish composer William Vincent Wallace.

It is the oldest major symphony orchestra in the United States in continual existence and one of the oldest in the world. Jaap van Zweden began his tenure as the 26th Music Director of the New York Philharmonic in September 2018. He also serves as Music Director of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, a post he has held since 2012, and becomes Music Director of the Seoul Philharmonic in 2024. He has conducted orchestras on three continents, appearing as guest with, in Europe, the Orchestre de Paris, Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, and London Symphony Orchestra, and, in the United States, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and other distinguished ensembles. Frank Huang joined the New York Philharmonic as Concertmaster in September 2015. Since performing with the Houston Symphony in a nationally broadcast concert at the age of 11 he has appeared with orchestras throughout the world including The Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Indianapolis Symphony, NDR Radio Philharmonic Orchestra of Hannover, Amadeus Chamber Orchestra, and the Genoa Orchestra.

Book Discussion | Command: The Politics of Military Operation (online)
Using examples from a wide variety of conflicts, Lawrence Freedman shows that successful military command depends on the ability not only to use armed forces effectively but also to understand the political context in which they are operating. Command in war is about forging effective strategies and implementing them, making sure that orders are appropriate, well-communicated, and then obeyed. But it is also an intensely political process. This is largely because how wars are fought depends to a large extent on how their aims are set. It is also because commanders in one realm must possess the ability to work with other command structures, including those of other branches of the armed forces and allies. In Command, Lawrence Freedman explores the importance of political as well as operational considerations in command with a series of eleven vivid case studies, all taken from the period after 1945. Over this period, the risks of nuclear escalation led to a shift away from great power confrontations and towards civil wars, and advances in communication technologies made it easier for higher-level commanders to direct their subordinates.

New York Philharmonic; Jaap van Zweden, conductor; Frank Huang, violin; The Men of the Crossing, chorus; Young People's Chorus of New York City; and Else Torp, soprano, perform The World Premiere of unEarth, a multimedia event by Julia Wolfe that, in the composer's words, "digs deep into the stories and science of our planet -- looking at forced migrations, adaptations, species land loss, and changing seas ... singing our fears and hoping for a way forward." Program Jean Sibelius (1865-1957), Violin Concerto Julia Wolfe (1958-present), unEarth About the Performers The New York Philharmonic, one of the leading world orchestras, was founded in 1842 by the American conductor Ureli Corelli Hill, with the aid of the Irish composer William Vincent Wallace. The first concert of the Philharmonic Society took place on December 7, 1842 in the Apollo Rooms on lower Broadway before an audience of 600. It is the oldest major symphony orchestra in the United States in continual existence and one of the oldest in the world. Jaap van Zweden began his tenure as the 26th Music Director of the New York Philharmonic in September 2018. He also serves as Music Director of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, a post he has held since 2012, and becomes Music Director of the Seoul Philharmonic in 2024. He has conducted orchestras on three continents, appearing as guest with, in Europe, the Orchestre de Paris, Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, and London Symphony Orchestra, and, in the United States, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and other distinguished ensembles. Frank Huang joined the New York Philharmonic as Concertmaster in September 2015. Since performing with the Houston Symphony in a nationally broadcast concert at the age of 11 he has appeared with orchestras throughout the world including The Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Indianapolis Symphony, NDR Radio Philharmonic Orchestra of Hannover, Amadeus Chamber Orchestra, and the Genoa Orchestra. He has also performed on NPR's Performance Today, ABC's Good Morning America, and CNN's American Morning with Paula Zahn. He has performed at Wigmore Hall (in London), Salle Cortot (Paris), Kennedy Center (Washington, DC), and Herbst Theatre (San Francisco), as well as a second recital in Alice Tully Hall (New York). Before joining the Houston Symphony as concertmaster in 2010, he served as first violinist of the Grammy Award-winning Ying Quartet and was a faculty member at the Eastman School of Music. The Men of the Crossing is a Grammy-winning professional chamber choir conducted by Donald Nally and dedicated to new music. It is committed to working with creative teams to make and record new, substantial works for choir that explore and expand ways of writing for, singing in, and listening to choirs. Many of its nearly 130 commissioned premieres address social, environmental, and political issues. The Crossing collaborates with some of the world's most accomplished ensembles and artists, including the New York Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, American Composers Orchestra, and more. With a commitment to recording its commissions, The Crossing has released 25 albums, receiving two Grammy Awards for Best Choral Performance (in 2018 and 2019), and seven Grammy nominations.

Parade | Celebrate Israel Parade
In 1965, thousands walked down Riverside Drive in support of the young State of Israel. This impromptu walk evolved into the Salute to Israel Parade. It has become the world's largest gathering in celebration of Israel attracting worldwide media. The Parade enables the tri-state community to celebrate in a non-partisan, apolitical show of unity with Israel. In 2011 it was decided to change the name of the Parade in order to focus on celebrating the vibrant and diverse country of Israel. The Parade features over 30,000 marchers representing many organizations. Hundreds of thousands enthusiastic spectators gather to watch American and Israeli community leaders and dignitaries, entertainers, artists, musicians, dancers, celebrities, floats and marching bands.
