This spring-long series of concerts stars three of the region's most impressive classical ensembles, who'll shine a spotlight on the great works of women composers. New York's premier viol consort, Parthenia, gets things off to a fascinating start by combining electronics, vocals and their ancient instruments for a performance of contemporary classical music. Next up is Quintet of the Americas from Queens. This acclaimed woodwind ensemble is set to focus on new pieces by North and South American women, including Kate Neal, Magda Santos and Beata Moon. Finally, Canta Libre Chamber Ensemble highlights compositions for flute, harp and strings, which includes their own commission, February Swale, by Beth Anderson. Please see the full event description for more info on the composers and musicians. Learn More

Written on Aug 13 2011It was fun. Of course it's all a big joke and not at all scary. But it was fun to go with a large group of friends.

Description
Teller and Todd Robbins invite Death out to play in Play Dead, a new spirit-shaking Off-Broadway show inspired by “Midnight Spook Shows,” an American institution from the 1930s to the 1970s. As the guide for the evening, Robbins draws audiences into an unknown haunted world full of frightful surprises and diabolical laughter. Although very much a theatrical work, it is hardly a typical “play,” but rather a dramatic, unnerving thriller – here and now in an “abandoned” theater, illuminated by a single ghostlight – in which audiences test their nerves and face their fears as they are surrounded by ethereal sights, sounds and even touches of the returning dead – all achieved by wry, suspenseful storytelling and uncanny stage illusions.
