Musicians, poets, and performers – come join our annual open stage party. There will be wine to steady any nerves! Those wishing to perform should arrive early and sign up – places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
To honour the 50th year of The Ukrainian Museum, founded by the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America and a cultural anchor in East Village, The Village Trip is delighted to offer a very special guided tour of two exhibitions: A Living Canvas, which follows the formal threads—Color, Form, Geometry, Figuration, Texture, Line, Black & White, and Ornamentation—that run through fine art and folk art; and The Ground Shifts Beneath Our Feet, New York City’s first retrospective of Zhanna Kadyrova, who opened this year’s Venice Biennale and is one of the most internationally acclaimed Ukrainian artists working today.
Two hundred and fifty years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the words of the Founding Fathers feel newly urgent. Gathering to hear American music, in a city that has always stood for pluralism and possibility and in a neighborhood that was described by poet Mascha Kaléko as “the melting pot in the melting pot” is itself an act of faith — in what the Republic has been, and in what it still can be.
In “We the People,” Poetica Musica draws on music from America’s first 25 decades – including works by, Aaron Copland, William Bolcom, Hall Johnson, and others — to trace a thread of distinctly American expression across generations and styles.
