Tapestry of New York is a short concert highlighting the varied and diverse voices of our beloved city by some of NYC’s most exciting emerging artists. They include the world premiere of Joy’s Aria from H. Lawrence Freeman’s jazz opera American Romance (World Premiere); a selection from the transgender story As One; Jessie Montgomery’s mezzo-and-cello tribute to the poet Bimbo Rivas, a Puerto Rican native whose community activism helped transform the Lower East Side; and Leonard Bernstein’s toe-tapping New York, New York.

Opera meets play in the New York premiere of Philip Wharton and Janet Burroway’s The Perfect Pig, a whimsical show featuring both a singer and a large-scale puppet as the title character. This charming family opera and endearing tale of discovering one’s own beauty unfolds in the intimate surroundings of The Glade on Little Island.
