(Sold Out) Christina and Michelle Naughton: An American in Paris
Green-Wood Cemetery 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, United StatesThe Washington Post writes of twin sister piano duo Christina and Michelle Naughton, “They have to be heard to be believed.” And indeed, the pair performs with an almost inconceivably telepathic connection. For The Angel’s Share, the Naughtons will play a program bookended by Leonard Bernstein, in celebration of his 100th birthday year (and because his final resting place is but a stone’s throw from the Catacombs). In between, the sisters will alternate between American and French composers, including Ravel’s shimmering Ma mère l'Oye and Debussy’s En Blanc et Noir.

(SOLD OUT) The JACK Quartet: Modern Medieval
Green-Wood Cemetery 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, United StatesThe JACK Quartet were called “superheroes of the new music world” by The Boston Globe, and there could be no more apt description for this endlessly adventurous ensemble. They’ve played pieces completely in the dark, performed on a raft in the middle of a lake, and more. For The Angel’s Share, they will play an extraordinary program that follows a musical thread from medieval plainsong through to the present day, drawing sonic similarities from wildly divergent works and echoing the timelessness of the space surrounding them.

(Sold Out) Gregg Kallor: Sketches from Frankenstein (World Premiere)
Green-Wood Cemetery 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, United StatesMary Shelly’s groundbreaking novel Frankenstein was published 200 years ago. But far from the grunting Hollywood brutishness of Boris Karloff, the original told the heartbreaking story of a living, feeling creature, brought into the world only to be forsaken by his creator and left to fend for himself in a hostile world. Drawing the parallels to modern society, pianist/composer Gregg Kallor will offer the World Premiere of a new suite of operatic sketches based on the monster’s harrowing tale, in a partnership with On Site Opera. The program will also feature his other acclaimed vocal works, and the premiere of a solo piano piece in tribute to Leonard Bernstein.
Green-Wood’s public programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, as well as the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
