Come one, come all to David Geffen Hall! We've got a small stack of massively discounted tickets available for not one, but TWO dates for this incredible NY Philharmonic program at Lincoln Center!

They'll be presenting modern music of the African Diaspora, including "Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances [which] pays homage to the wide range of Black American dance traditions while Nathalie Joachim’s newly-penned cello concerto written for Seth Parker Woods honors the transformation of African fashion. Driving rhythms of David Baker’s Kosbro are followed by William Grant Still's Autochthonous Symphony, which portrays, in his words, “the fusion of musical cultures in North America.”

With Thomas Wilkins conducting, this is a concert you do not want to miss!

Ticketholders for the October 18 concert are invited to arrive early for a pre-concert talk, which begins at 6:00 PM in the Wu Tsai Theater. Panelists includes Woods, Joachim, Barnard College professor Monica L. Miller, and Harvard University professor Carol Oja. Juilliard professor Fredara Hadley moderates.

*The program will last ~1 hour 45 minutes with an intermission.

Children over 5 are welcomed for this concert.

Groupmuse ticket buyers are instructed to pick up their tickets at Will Call in the David Geffen Welcome Center prior to the performance. Seating is assigned. Those with ADA requirements should email [email protected] ahead of time for seating accommodations.*
