Tishman Auditorium. Performances will feature recently-commissioned works from composer-collaborators Lester St. Louis, Clara Iannotta, Tyshawn Sorey, and Catherine Lamb.

Updates continuing pretty much daily throughout the month: you might want to bookmark this page and check back to see what’s new.

Weekly events first followed by the daily calendar. The NYC Documentary Film Festival is coming this monthand there […]
