SUMMARY:(Sold Out) A Night at Niblo’s Garden
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Maike Schulz\nThis event is sold out. Make sure you never miss out on tickets again! Green-Wood members get access to tickets weeks before the general public. Join today. \nThis popular event is back for 2017 and better than ever! Niblo’s Garden was once one of New York City’s largest and most elaborate theaters (at Prince and Broadway in SoHo) replete with sparkling lanterns\, fountains\, a festive open-air restaurant and bar\, and featuring the top musicians\, dancers\, and entertainers of the time. Owner and impresario\, William Niblo\, an eccentric himself\, was known to invite friends to the site of his elaborate mausoleum at Green-Wood\, built for his dearly departed wife\, turning the lakeside burial plot into a pleasure garden of its own. He was said to have visited the mausoleum on a daily basis\, bringing friends\, picnicking and even stocking the nearby pond with goldfish. \nEnjoy a Victorian extravaganza of performing arts put on by our good friends at Bindlestiff Family Cirkus\, a vaudeville and arts powerhouse since 1995. Your night will begin with a picnic (bring your own) around the beautiful pond Crescent Water and will unfold into an evening of showmanship in front of Niblo’s grand mausoleum. As always\, author and Niblo expert Ben Feldman will hold court as Niblo himself. Bring a blanket\, snacks\, and drinks\, and prepare to be dazzled by 19th-century games\, fire eaters\, contortionists\, and much more – all lit by candles and a starry sky. \n$35 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $40 for non-members. \nClick here for our inclement weather policy. \n

SUMMARY:Death Café
DESCRIPTION: \n \nThe Death Café is inspired by the centuries-old European salon (or café)\, an informal gathering to discuss philosophical\, political or scientific ideas. In 2011\, British entrepreneur Jon Underwood brought this concept to discussions of the most universal topic of all: death.

Amy Cunningham\, death educator and creator of the Brooklyn-based blog TheInspiredFuneral.com\, invites participants to share their thoughts and feelings on death. It’s an opportunity for safe and open exchanges\, without an agenda. Tea and light snacks are provided.\n \n“A place for people to discuss our inevitable fate.” – Gothamist\n \n“It’s a reversal for American culture\, which for a long time has shied away from these conversations.” – Village Voice \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended. Please register using the Eventbrite box below. \nThis program takes place in our Modern Chapel just to the right after passing through the Gothic Arches at the main entrance.

SUMMARY:Striking Likenesses
DESCRIPTION: \n \n \nWhen Green-Wood Cemetery opened in the early 19th century\, the art of posthumous portraiture was immensely popular. As a form of commemoration\, these portraits of recently deceased loved ones were prized for the precious bond they created between the land of the living and the realm of the dead. This walking tour explores the stone and bronze images commissioned to immortalize the dearly departed\, many of which were created by leading artists of the day\, including sculptors Daniel Chester French\, John Quincy Ward\, and Charles Calverley\, among others.  \n \nAllison Meier\, a staff writer for Hyperallergic\, who specializes in the visual culture of overlooked history\, will unravel how the Victorian age’s obsession with images of the dead was also found in painted portraits and postmortem daguerreotypes. \n \n$20 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $25 for nonmembers \n \nAll events will take place rain or shine.

SUMMARY:A Night of Blues\, Folk and Rock in Support of Green-Wood
DESCRIPTION:Join us on the night the Green-Wood Chapel becomes a House of Blues! We are enormously proud and excited to present an evening of folk\, blues\, and rock music with the powerhouse duo of singer-guitarists Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams. Three time Grammy Award-winning Larry Campbell – best known for his eight years with Bob Dylan – has played with Elvis Costello\, Willie Nelson\, and Levon Helm’s Midnight Rambles\, to name just a few. And Teresa\, who met Larry when she was playing at the Bottom Line in the ‘80s\, has sung with giants like Mavis Staples and Emmylou Harris. That’s why this performance by “the first couple of Americana” (Mojo Magazine) at Green-Wood\, a National Historic Landmark\, is a perfect marriage. \nOpening for Larry and Teresa will be the renowned guitarist Danny Kalb\, one of Dylan’s earliest inspirations and founding member of the legendary Blues Project. \nThis special performance is a tribute to Green-Wood permanent resident singer-songwriter Greg Trooper (1956-2017). \nIf you’ve never experienced music in Green-Wood’s historic chapel\, you are in for a huge treat. For one of the most memorable experiences of the year\, join us for this very special evening. Ticket sales support the tours\, programs\, school programs\, archives\, horticulture projects\, and conservation work at Green-Wood. \n\nMobile users: Please tap here to buy tickets.

SUMMARY:(Sold Out) A Night of Victorian Tragedies
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. Make sure you never miss out on tickets again! Green-Wood members get access to tickets weeks before the general public. Join today. \nThe Victorians knew a thing or two about tragedy. They seemed to almost revel in tales of disaster and heartbreak.

Greg Young\, co-host of the award-winning NYC history podcast\, The Bowery Boys\, emcees a night of storytelling\, where you and your fellow audience members will vote on the most tragic of Victorian tales.  \nHe will be joined by a team of seasoned storytellers who will try to convince you that their own heartbreaking tale of a Green-Wood permanent resident is worthy of the title. Will it be the victims of a shipwreck just 300 yards from port or the beautiful Charlotte Canda thrown from her horse-drawn carriage on the night of her 17th birthday? A bit Victorian-era trivia is also on deck\, along with some great Green-Wood prizes for the most knowledgeable (or lucky). Be sure to bring tissues. Fainting couches not provided.  \n$20 for members of Green-Wood and BHS / $25 for nonmembers \nAll events will take place rain or shine. Click here for our inclement weather policy.

SUMMARY:Death Café

Amy Cunningham\, death educator and creator of the Brooklyn-based blog TheInspiredFuneral.com\, invites participants to share their thoughts and feelings on death. It’s an opportunity for safe and open exchanges\, without an agenda. Tea and light snacks are provided.\n \n“A place for people to discuss our inevitable fate.” – Gothamist\n \n“It’s a reversal for American culture\, which for a long time has shied away from these conversations.” – Village Voice \nFree to attend\, RSVP recommended. Please register using the Eventbrite box below. \nThis program takes place in our Modern Chapel just to the right after passing through the Gothic Arches at the main entrance.
