SUMMARY:Music: Min Kwon: America/Beautiful 250
DESCRIPTION:For her project America/Beautiful\, Korean-American pianist Min Kwon commissioned almost eighty leading composers across the United States to each write a variation on America the Beautiful\, producing a vast mosaic of voices\, aesthetics\, identities\, and histories. No two variations are alike. Some are tender and lyrical\, others bracing and dissonant; some meditate\, others protest. Together they form a living portrait of a country in conversation with itself. Now\, as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary\, Kwon returns to the Catacombs with music from this monumental project – timed to the release of her complete recording of all 76 variations. What began as a question has become a document of its time: a sonic archive of how America’s leading creative voices\, in all their diversity\, heard this moment in history.

SUMMARY:Emruz Festival: Music Dance Theater Visual Arts MENA-SWANA
DESCRIPTION:A three day festival in NYC featuring plays\, concerts\, and films by artists of Middle Eastern\, Southwest Asian\, and North African descent. \nMay 1st: A night rooted in Iranian and Afghan Traditional Music \n1) Of Roots and Colors is a concert-length musical project that explores the cultural geography of Greater Iran through sound\, memory\, and shared musical lineage. Drawing on regional repertoires from Khorasan and Tajikistan in the northeast\, to Fars in central Iran\, and the Bakhtiari\, Luri\, and Kurdish traditions of the Zagros mountains\, the project asks: how do music and oral tradition preserve historical connections across regions\, languages\, and borders\, even as political boundaries shift?\nAt its core\, this work treats music as a living archive. Each piece reflects a distinct regional identity—mode\, rhythm\, poetic language—while revealing deep structural and aesthetic affinities that point to common roots. By placing these traditions in dialogue within a single performance\, Of Roots and Colors highlights both cultural continuity and difference\, inviting the audience to hear Iran not as a monolith\, but as a vibrant\, plural soundscape shaped by centuries of exchange. The project comes to life through carefully curated arrangements that respect the integrity of each tradition while allowing for subtle interaction among them. The performance unfolds as a journey from east to west\, with spoken contextual framing that situates each musical segment historically and culturally. Improvisation plays a key role\, echoing the oral transmission practices central to these traditions and allowing the musicians’ lived experiences to shape the performance in real time.Inspired by ethnomusicological research\, fieldwork\, and long-term engagement with regional musicians\, Of Roots and Colors is envisioned as both an artistic and educational experience—one that fosters listening across difference and re-centers music as a bridge between communities\, histories\, and shared cultural memory. \nPerformers:\nSirvan Manhoobi: Oud\nRoxana Sarrafi: Vocalist\nMehrpouya Daneshvar: Clarinet \n2) And the Mountains Echoed will be a live\, intimate performance centered on the Afghan rubab\, inspired by the themes of memory\, separation\, and enduring connection explored in And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini. Rather than retelling the novel’s narrative\, the project will translate its emotional and psychological landscapes into sound—using music to explore how love\, loss\, and responsibility echo across generations and geographies.\nRooted in Pashto folk and Afghan classical traditions\, the performance will unfold through a series of improvisational movements. Melodic fragments will emerge\, repeat\, and transform\, mirroring the way memories are carried\, reshaped\, and preserved over time. The rubab will function as both melodic and rhythmic storyteller\, with its sympathetic strings and natural decay allowing resonance and silence to become active compositional elements. \nThe work will emphasize restraint and intimacy. Space\, breath\, and stillness will be treated as core musical tools\, inviting deep listening and reflection from the audience. Subtle rhythmic frameworks inspired by Afghan and Hindustani forms will support the melodic arc without overpowering it\, ensuring the rubab remains the central narrative voice. \nPresented with Emruz Festival\, And the Mountains Echoed will frame freedom as emotional and artistic openness—the freedom to hold complexity\, to honor inherited traditions while allowing them to evolve\, and to let a historical instrument speak vulnerably and honestly in the present. The performance will offer audiences a contemplative sonic space where personal and collective histories quietly resonate with one another. \nPerformers:\nSAHEL: Rubab\nShraman: Sitar\nDhruvin: Tabla \n3) A contemporary exploration of Persian music through original compositions and reimagined traditional material. Drawing from classical Persian forms\, regional influences\, and contemporary compositional approaches\, the program moves fluidly between intimate acoustic textures and more expansive ensemble writing. The music is shaped through varied instrumentation and evolving arrangements\, allowing melodic modes\, rhythmic structures\, and timbral colors to unfold in multiple dimensions. \nSantur serves as the central voice of the performance\, acting as a traditional instrument and a contemporary sound\, interacting with a flexible ensemble that may include strings\, winds\, percussion\, electronic elements\, or voice. Improvisation plays a key role\, creating moments of spontaneity and dialogue between musicians while maintaining a clear compositional framework. \nPerformers:\nHamidreza Maleki: Santour\nBehfar Bahadoran: Tar\nParisa Karimi: Kamancheh \nMay 2: Theatre\nThis evening of theater brings together three distinct works—a musical reading\, a short play reading\, and a fully staged theatrical piece—each exploring themes of displacement\, survival\, and hope. \n1) The night begins with a musical reading\, Cheeks Rosy From Slapping by PRETTY CRIME\, that blends storytelling and song to set the emotional tone. \n2) It is followed by a reading of Longest War by Humaira Ghilzai\, where two best friends\, Nargis and Pari\, stay connected across 7\,000 miles through a fragile WhatsApp call\, navigating life in America and Kabul under Taliban rule.Performers:\nAwesta Zarif\nSophia Tarin \n3) The evening culminates in KISMET by Didem Ruhi Karci and Talha Karci\, a two-person\, actor-driven play about a Turkish immigrant couple who unexpectedly find themselves on stage and begin performing their own journey from Istanbul to the U.S.–Mexico border. Using minimal props and direct address\, the piece moves between humor and heartbreak as it asks what it means to start over. Together\, these works offer a powerful\, multi-form portrait of migration\, identity\, and resilience. \nMay 3: Theatre and Music\nAn evening of theater and music offering distinct yet resonant theatrical forms—a modular\, multilingual experimental piece and a myth-based storytelling performance—each interrogating power\, truth\, and the politics of knowledge. \n1) Ceasefire Later! by Bazeed is a choreopoem built entirely from found and verbatim text\, tracing the narratives and propaganda surrounding the genocide in Gaza after October 7\, 2023. Structured in modules of varying lengths and performed in an order determined by the audience\, the piece unfolds as a fragmented collage of social media\, interviews\, movement\, and song\, resisting a fixed timeline and conventional theatrical form. \nPerformers:\nWaseem Alzer\nMette Loulou Von Kohl\nLour Yasin \n2) Following\, a solo piano performance by Niayesh Javaheri. \n3) Concluding the night with Testament of Bondar Bidakhsh by Bahram Beyzaie (directed by Nikta Sabouri) reimagines a Persian myth through the lens of naqqāli\, with two storytellers offering competing accounts of a king and his vizier. As Bondar’s invention—a world-seeing chalice meant for collective knowledge—becomes a tool of power and control\, the audience is positioned as witness and judge. Drawing parallels to contemporary technologies like AI and surveillance\, the piece explores who owns knowledge and how it is used. Together\, these works create a layered dialogue between past and present\, form and fragmentation\, storytelling and truth. \nPerformers:\nDario Ladani Sanchez\nAbraham Makani

SUMMARY:Music: Uncharted: DoYeon Kim & Firas Zreik
DESCRIPTION:Greenwich House Music School presents DoYeon Kim & Firas Zreik as part of its 2026 Uncharted Concert Series and Elebash Residency\n\n\n\nGreenwich House Music School is pleased to present DoYeon Kim and Firas Zreik in its annual Uncharted Concert Series\, part of the Elebash Artist-in-Residence Program. \nDoYeon Kim is an internationally acclaimed artist known for her expansive\, pioneering performances and compositions\, and for introducing the gayageum—an ancient Korean zither—into contemporary music. Trained extensively in jazz and improvisation as well as in the classical Korean traditions of sanjo\, jeongak\, and modern gugak\, she channels history\, literature\, and an evolving sense of the human spirit into a musical language entirely her own through original works\, powerful solo performances\, and global collaborations. Named one of Grammy.com’s “7 Musicians Pushing Ancient Asian Instruments Into the Future” (2021)\, DoYeon has received the Van Lier Fellowship (2023)\, a Korean Grammy Award nomination (crossover category\, 2018)\, and was most recently selected as a Next Jazz Legacy awardee (2025). After winning major traditional music competitions in Korea\, including the Dong-A Ilbo Traditional Music and National Gugak Center Korean Music Competitions\, she pursued contemporary improvisation and jazz studies at the New England Conservatory and the Berklee Global Jazz Institute\, becoming the first student admitted to both programs to perform on a Korean traditional instrument. She has since served on the faculty at the New England Conservatory and The New School\, lectured internationally at institutions including Harvard and the Franz Liszt Academy\, and continues to lead her own projects while collaborating widely; recent roles include invited composer for Delirium Musicum (2025)\, Music Director of the ACCX Music Festival Gwangju (2025)\, and music director and conductor of the Gyeonggi Sinawi Orchestra (2023)\, alongside performances and recordings with artists such as Tyshawn Sorey\, Kris Davis\, Peter Evans\, and many others. \n\n\n\nComposer and kanunist Firas Zreik is a Palestine-born\, New York–based artist who has performed and recorded internationally as a leader and sought-after collaborator since 2013. Known for redefining global perceptions of the kanun\, Zreik honors the instrument’s roots in the Maqam tradition while expanding its expressive range across contemporary musical forms\, viewing Maqam’s improvisation-driven legacy as a vessel for boundless creative exploration. His music is marked by emotional depth and a refined command of microtonal sound\, moving fluidly between intricately orchestrated and spontaneous settings. Zreik has collaborated with a wide spectrum of artists\, including Roger Waters\, G.E. Smith\, Residente\, Simon Shaheen\, Amir ElSaffar\, Fabrizio Cassol\, Shankar Mahadevan\, Aynur Doğan\, and Amal Murkus—his mother and frequent artistic partner\, for whom he serves as musical director—and has brought his deeply expressive live performances to venues and festivals around the world. \nFiras Zreik will combine his deep understanding of the Maqam tradition – the scale system in the Levantine\, North African\, and the Mediterranean region – with elements of modern global musical styles absorbed throughout his musical development\, creating a fresh\, modern\, authentic sound\, via a dazzling technique with the Kanun (Mediterranean harp) at its core for his Uncharted performance. \n\n\n\nUncharted\, now in its twelfth year\, has been an invaluable resource for New York-based musicians to develop original material\, foster new collaborations\, and premiere first-look projects in an intimate concert setting.
