Host
In this program entitled “Snapshots,” we bring the audience on a journey through space and time, stopping to capture vivid moments along the way. We invite you to travel back four centuries with us; bask in the sounds of French Impressionism and fiery Romanticism; take a walk through the streets of 18th century Madrid; and finally, dance the night away with a rousing Fandango!
DOORS OPEN AT 6, MUSIC STARTS AT 6:30 - PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY TO CHECK IN!
The Salmagundi Club, New York's oldest arts club, is opening the doors of their beautiful Gilded Age brownstone for Groupmusers. Spend the evening surrounded by venerable architecture and floor-to-ceiling curated art.
Described as “an absolute gift to see live” (The Nevada Sagebrush), Twelfth Night is a refreshingly new ensemble of historical performance specialists led by keyboardist David Belkovski and violinist Rachell Ellen Wong, formed with the firm belief that art is best explored as a meeting place of the past, present, and future. Inspired by Shakespeare’s play of the same name, the ensemble strives to invoke a spirit of boundless revelry, celebration, and community in their programming. Based in New York City and founded in 2021, the two directors are regarded as key young representatives of early music: Rachell is the only baroque artist to receive an Avery Fisher Career Grant and David is the first recipient in the field of early music to receive the Levinson Arts Achievement Award.
