Greenwich Village Gargoyles, Grotesques and Mascarons, walking tour

Look up. Above the awnings and stoops of Greenwich Village, a hidden menagerie is watching. Gargoyles leer from cornices, mascarons peer from lintels, and carved beasts cling to the facades of townhouses, seminaries, and apartment buildings that most passersby never notice. Join Marc Catapano for a two-hour walk through Greenwich Village’s stone bestiary.

Village Voices

Village Voices

Each year, The Village Trip brings together composers with deep ties to Greenwich Village and the East Village for an evening celebrating Village Voices. This year’s program draws on an extraordinary range of voices — and histories – featuring premieres by Scott Wheeler, and Ella Milch-Sheriff, as well as new settings of Herman Melville by Akemi Naito and Kile Smith.
