SUMMARY:(SOLD OUT) Beethoven: String Quartet Op. 131
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Angel’s Share series\, presented with Death of Classical\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Kevin Condon\n\n\n\n\n\nWe return to the Catacombs for another exploration of Beethoven’s final string quartets. We invite you to join us for an unforgettable evening as the Ariel Quartet performs String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp minor\, Op. 131. Opening with what Richard Wagner described as “surely the saddest sentiment ever expressed in music\,” this seven-movement masterpiece is played without pause\, creating an expansive\, kaleidoscopic musical journey through faith\, fear\, madness\, wonder\, and more. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: $80\, $64 for members \n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person Event(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nPraised by The New York Times for their “full-blooded\, dynamic playing” and by The Washington Post for their “ear-melting tenderness and seething passion\,” the Ariel Quartet has established itself as one of today’s leading string quartets. They’ve recently recorded the Op. 131\, part of their ongoing exploration of the complete Beethoven String Quartets. \n\n\n\nWe’ll let the great composer Franz Schubert sum things up–after first hearing the Op 131 Quartet\, he remarked how “it seems to me to stand on the extreme boundary of all that has hitherto been attained by human art and imagination… After this\, what is left for us to write?” \n\n\n\nPlease note that if only 1 ticket shows as available during the purchase process that is the last ticket available. \n\n\n\nBefore Purchasing Tickets\, Please Note:\n\n\n\n\nWhere To Go: Check-in begins 15 minutes before your ticketed start time and ONLY takes place at the Gothic Arch near the Main Entrance on Fifth Avenue and 25th Street (500 25th Street). There are no paper or e-tickets! Attendees will be checked in by name. \n\n\n\nFood and Drinks: We will start with a 45-minute reception at the Modern Chapel to enjoy a tasting of cocktails by Via Carota and snacks (all free!)\, and the beauty of the Cemetery\, before the program begins. Tasting is for those 21 years of age or older with proof of ID.\n\n\n\nEarly Evening Performance (6pm): Arrive for check-in at the Gothic Arch no later than 6:45pm.\n\n\n\nTwilight Performance (7:30pm): Arrive for check-in at the Gothic Arch no later than 8:15pm.\n\n\n\nParking: There is no on-site parking available.\n\n\n\nAccessibility & Safety: Please note that the Catacombs are a historic structure and not ADA compliant. Access requires ascending and descending stairs. We strongly encourage attendees to dress for the conditions of the Catacombs\, which can be cooler than the outdoor temperature. \n\n\n\nA Little More About Accessibility & Safety: Attendees may travel to the Catacombs on foot or by trolley. The walk takes about 20-30 minutes\, and includes hilly and uneven terrain. Proper footwear and flashlights are strongly recommended. The Green-Wood trolley is ADA-compliant\, but the Catacombs are not.

SUMMARY:(SOLD OUT) Paola Prestini: Houses of Zodiac
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Angel’s Share series\, presented with Death of Classical\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe conclude our 2025 season of the Angel’s Share with Houses of Zodiac\, a sprawling\, multidisciplinary masterwork by composer Paola Prestini\, praised by The Wall Street Journal as an artist “known for pushing the boundaries of classical music.” Prestini’s expansive composition is brought to life by Jeffrey Zeigler (formerly of the Kronos Quartet) on solo cello\, and dancers Georgina Pazcoguin (former New York City Ballet soloist) and Dai Matsuoka (Butoh dance master of Sankai Juku)\, as they move through the length of the Catacombs\, unfolding an emotionally-charged story of creation\, guilt\, and emancipation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: $80\, $64 for members \n\n\n\n\nSold Out\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person Event(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nPoetic interludes by Octavio Paz\, Anaïs Nin\, Brenda Shaughnessy\, and Natasha Trethewey will be read by Maria Popova\, the visionary behind The Marginalian (formerly Brain Pickings). \n\n\n\nStrings Magazine lauded Prestini and Zeigler’s recording of Houses of Zodiac as “one of the greatest and most ambitious solo cello albums of all time.” For these performances\, they’ve transformed that music into an immersive\, uncategorizable site-specific experience. \n\n\n\nPlease note that if only 1 ticket shows as available during the purchase process that is the last ticket available. \n\n\n\nBefore Purchasing Tickets\, Please Note:\n\n\n\n\nTicket sales are final.

SUMMARY:America/Beautiful 250
DESCRIPTION:Min Kwon\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen pianist Min Kwon first conceived America/Beautiful\, the country was in a moment of fracture – pandemic isolation\, racial reckoning\, and political unrest. Looking at her two daughters\, whose birthdays fall on Presidents’ Day and the Fourth of July\, she began asking a simple\, urgent question: What does America mean\, and what kind of nation are we becoming? \n\n\n\nFrom that reflection came an extraordinary undertaking: America/Beautiful. Kwon commissioned more than eighty leading composers across the United States to each write a variation on America the Beautiful\, producing a vast mosaic of voices\, aesthetics\, identities\, and histories.  \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: $90\, $72 for members \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn-Site Event(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nNo two variations are alike. Some are tender and lyrical\, others bracing and dissonant; some meditate\, others protest. Together they form a living portrait of a country in conversation with itself. Now\, as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary\, Kwon returns to the Catacombs with music from this monumental project – timed to the release of her complete recording of all 76 variations. What began as a question has become a document of its time: a sonic archive of how America’s leading creative voices\, in all their diversity\, heard this moment in history. \n\n\n\nMember Discount: Green-Wood and Death of Classical members receive 20% off the above ticket price. \n\n\n\nBefore Purchasing A Ticket\, Please Note:\n\n\n\n\nAttendees must follow all instructions and guidance from Cemetery staff and ambassadors.\n\n\n\nWhere To Go: Check-in begins 15 minutes before your ticketed start time and ONLY takes place at the Arch near the Main Entrance on Fifth Avenue and 25th Street (500 25th Street).

What began as a question has become a document of its time: a sonic archive of how America’s leading creative voices\, in all their diversity\, heard this moment in history. \n\n\n\nMember Discount: Green-Wood and Death of Classical members receive 20% off the above ticket price. \n\n\n\nBefore Purchasing A Ticket\, Please Note:\n\n\n\n\nAttendees must follow all instructions and guidance from Cemetery staff and ambassadors.\n\n\n\nWhere To Go: Check-in begins 15 minutes before your ticketed start time and ONLY takes place at the Arch near the Main Entrance on Fifth Avenue and 25th Street (500 25th Street).

SUMMARY:Beethoven: String Quartet Op. 135 & Jeff Scott World Premiere 
DESCRIPTION:Poiesis Quartet\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe return to the vaulted stillness of the Green-Wood Catacombs for the final completed string quartet of Beethoven – the luminous and enigmatic String Quartet in F major\, Op. 135. \n\n\n\nComposed just months before his death\, Op. 135 stands apart from Beethoven’s other late quartets. Where some rage against fate or reach toward the infinite\, this final work feels like a resolute whisper – intimate\, questioning\, and unexpectedly serene. Beethoven inscribed the opening of the final movement with an enigmatic statement: “Must it be? It must be.” In these final pages\, Beethoven doesn’t shout into the abyss; instead\, he embraces and converses with it. \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: $90\, $72 for members \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn-Site Event(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a powerful counterpoint\, Beethoven’s Op. 135 is paired with the world premiere of Jeff Scott’s Tapestry of the Beloved Beatified\, a ritual of remembrance honoring the activists Marsha P. Johnson\, Harvey Milk\, Sylvia Rivera\, and Jeanne Manford. Too often marginalized by history\, their lives rise here not as symbols of struggle\, but as radiant\, deeply human presences–defiant\, compassionate\, and enduring. Scott’s score unfolds through shifting textures of chant\, whispered testimony\, and expanding polyphony\, at moments breaking into speech-like utterance\, as if memory itself were finding its voice. \n\n\n\nPerforming this singular program is the Poiesis Quartet\, named one of The New York Times’  Performances of the Year in 2025. Praised for their precision\, warmth\, and fearless programming\, Poiesis has established itself as one of the most compelling young ensembles on today’s stage\, and we’re honored to bring their elemental\, urgent music-making to the intimacy of the catacombs. \n\n\n\nMember Discount: Green-Wood and Death of Classical members receive 20% off the above ticket price. \n\n\n\nBefore Purchasing A Ticket\, Please Note:\n\n\n\n\nAttendees must follow all instructions and guidance from Cemetery staff and ambassadors.\n\n\n\nWhere To Go: Check-in begins 15 minutes before your ticketed start time and ONLY takes place at the Arch near the Main Entrance on Fifth Avenue and 25th Street (500 25th Street).

Proper footwear and flashlights are strongly recommended. The Green-Wood trolley is ADA-compliant\, but the Catacombs are not. If you have any questions or concerns regarding disability-related accommodations for this program\, please call (718) 768-7300 or email events@green-wood.com.\n\n\n\nTicket sales are final. No exchanges or refunds unless the event is canceled.
