Women and Allies Unite in Petrifying the Patriarchy

Pianist/composers Jennifer Wright and Kathleen Supové present a variety show that takes political aim with panache and humor. Be prepared for spicy lyrics and big surprises.

Featured composers are Wright and Supové, as well as New York firebrands Jerome Kitzke, Randall Woolf and Daniel Felsenfeld, and the poetry of Megan Duffy and Pádraig Ó Tuama. The show ends with the smashing masterpiece of the evening, "The Mad Libbers' Tea Party"!

A comedy recital hosted by composers concordance!

Music in the Nave presents great moments from Mozart operas, performed by a trio of young, up-and-coming singers. Enjoy a day at the opera (sort of) with soprano Juliet Schlefer, mezzo Abbegael Greene, Tenor Max Jansen, baritone Ben Powell, and pianist Margarita Nuller.

Pairing Mozart’s radiant music with radiant weather has long been a popular concept, most notably with Lincoln Center’s now-defunct Mostly Mozart series. Music in the Nave continues this tradition with its second annual “Mozart in May” event.

The Bang Group / MATA Mavens
The DiMenna Center for Classical Music, 450 W 37th Street, New York, NY

Transformation is the keynote of this year’s opening concert, a provocative encounter between instrumental performance and movement. The Bang Group executes Steve Reich’s Clapping Music with tap shoes, and reimagines Feldman's For John Cage – scored for piano and violin – as a tap dance. At the heart of the program are intriguing new solo and duo scores for violin, flute, voice, and electronics by Yifan Guo, Liann J Kang, Anselm McDonnell, Kaleena Miller, Sami Seif, and Zihan Wu, performed by MATA Mavens. While diverse in style, many of their works display a striking engagement with language. Bang choreographer David Parker interprets Pauline Kim Harris’s Sparkle Too with 10 pointe and eight tap shoes, and caps the evening with his witty Schlemiezel, a duo for dancers in Velcro-covered suits.

The Washington Chorus and National Philharmonic are thrilled to present their next collaboration, One Song: Exultávit! This program features J.S. Bach’s beloved setting of the Magnificat and Reena Esmail’s extraordinary new work This Love Between Us, which juxtaposes Western classical music and Indian musical traditions.
