Calendar of Events in New York

There are thousands of amazing restaurants in New York, and it’s almost impossible to try them all, but Just Food, a nonprofit organization that strives to connect local farms with communities in need, is giving you the chance to taste bites from some of the big names in New York’s restaurant scene, such as Franny’s, Northern Spy Co., and Dirt Candy. Opting for a V.I.P.... Read more about this event >>
-
Esperanza Spalding’s progression from a Post-Bop prodigy with strong Afro-Latin Jazz chops and an impeccable vocal phrasing to the electric bass-wielding Neo-Soul-Fusion songstress of 2012’s Radio Music Society might have been unexpected, but it was certainly not a fruitless endeavor. For one, her jazz/pop/r&b jams sparkle with energy, purpose, and a musicality perhaps unheard in... Read more about this event >>
-
The debut release from Texas transplants Parquet Courts fell under the radar, due in no small part to its exclusive release on cassette. Luckily, New York-based What's Your Rupture re-released the Light Up Gold LP, a refreshingly brisk album of snotty-n-stoned punk with crisp guitar breaks and a ramshackle rhythm section anchored by the aptly named brothers Andrew and Max Savage, earlier this...

-
The way this band captures the reckless and joyful energy of being 19, you could probably guess their age even without looking them on Wiki. Playing a mix of garage rock and dream pop that brims with the scuzzy punk vigor of Iggy and suffers neither from immaturity nor sonic acne scars, the four-piece conjures up at once glammy soundtracks to daydreams and giddy romps for joyrides with...

-
You don't have to be an insider to know what's new in the performing arts. PRELUDE. 13 gives you a sneak peek with tickets to work-in-progress presentations, open rehearsals, and conversations with the artists. The best part? It's all free. The incredible lineup of performers includes Taylor Mac, Nature Theater of Oklahoma, Big Dance Theater, Big Art Group, Annie Baker, Cynthia Hopkins, Jay... Read more about this event >>
-
If you've never been inside the magnificent Church of St. Paul the Apostle, the artist collective Openings is giving you a fun incentive to drop by. Their new show, 1) All of the Above—The Big Question Answered?, which will be held at the historic church, features the works of 37 artists in a variety of mediums, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photographer, collage, and...

-
They’ve got magic to do, just for you. Also tumbling, contortion, acrobatics, trapeze, and silk work. In Diane Paulus’s reimagining of Stephen Schwartz’s echt-‘70s musical, young Pippin (Matthew James Thomas) wanders around a medieval French landscape that looks a lot like a circus bigtop, with Patina Miller as ringmaster. Read more about this event >>
-
The reigning queen of jazz violin has carved a niche for herself by blending the traditionalist style of Stephane Grappelli with the avant-garde bravado of Billy Bang and the dazzling technique of Itzhak Perlman. She studied with the latter at one point as a young classical violin student at the New England Conservatory before catching that incurable jazz bug. Though she got her start...

Students of the arts, next time you’re feeling bored in class, just think about Ernesto Pujol. To further his studies, the site-specific performance artist and social choreographer made the unorthodox decision to take a vow of silence for several years as a cloistered monk. That period of his life has informed many of his works, which often involve quietly walking for long stretches of... Read more about this event >>
-
Led by composer-drummer John Hollenbeck, the Claudia Quintet—which also includes Chris Speed (saxophone/clarinet), Matt Moran (vibraphone), Red Wierenga (accordion), and Drew Gress (bass)—plays complex and emotionally resonant music with solar flare energy. Their new September consists of a diverse batch of compositions inspired by Wayne Shorter, NPR newsreaders, and 9/11, among... Read more about this event >>
-
Few music critics are as perceptive as drag performance artist Taylor Mac, and none sports glad rags as colorfully overdetermined as his fabtacular Machine Dazzle creations. Over the past few years, Mac has been workshopping “A 24-Hour History of Popular Music,” an absurdly ambitious spectacle slated for 2014, with a series of shows devoted to spotlighting each of the two dozen...

-
A year away from completing their first decade of releasing music, Hyperdub, the London dubstep and electronic label that has put out tunes from artists such as Darkstar, Burial, Laurel Halo, and the Bug, is touring the country with a roster of artists who will all move your brain—and, of course, your feet—in a different direction. At Hyperdub Label Night, label founder and early... Read more about this event >>
-
Is the 13th step to create a drama about the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous? Perhaps not, but Stephen Bergman and Janet Surrey have received plaudits for this show about a night in 1935 when a stockbroker and a businessman helped talk each other out of taking a drink. Seth Gordon directs a revival. Read more about this event >>
-
This unusual collaboration with the award-winning documentary filmmaker has the trip-hop icons performing while the audience is enveloped in videos which turn a suspicious eye toward modern technology. That perspective has always been a central part of their appeal, but this may be the most dramatic crystallization yet. The bleak future they sang about in the ‘90s felt like an ominous... Read more about this event >>
-
You can usually find these poster boys of jazz-rock right around the intersection of yacht-rock and prog, with grooves worthy of the Doobie Brothers played over far more complex chord sequences. They've released only three new albums in the past 25 years, so their week-long run at the Beacon Theater will feature several full-album shows, two "greatest hits" nights, and one set by audience request.

The punk band who deftly integrated disco, hip-hop, and new wave well before popular music took heed to all of those elements is back with a new album titled Ghosts of Download and a Beth Ditto-featuring single called "A Rose by Any Name." Always up on the modern and never a band to back into the past, the band's 2013 sound is a tasty dip into electro pop that showcases just how much more fun... Read more about this event >>
-
This contralto singer from the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean works a sophisticated version of maloya, a local percussion-powered genre that combines sufferer lyrics with a dense skein of percussion. Her Creole, Malagasy, Comorian, and Swahili lyrics take on an incantatory aspect as she bangs out rhythms on a kayamn reed rattle. Expect music from her new album, Salem Tradition. Read more about this event >>
-
As one of Brooklyn's most prolific and resilient units, rock experimentalists Oneida maintain a state of perpetual motion that equals only their own hypnotic rhythms. In the past three years, they've played day-long "Ocropolis" concerts, they've put out albums, singles, and live LPs, and they've always managed to squeeze in a few hometown shows in between European tours. Tonight, they make... Read more about this event >>
-
"Not a 'project': a real band" promises this experimental power trio consisting of Marc Ribot (guitar), Shazad Ismaily (bass, electronics), and Ches Smith (drums). And their fairly recent Your Turn proves it with a lubricious hard-rock frenzy miles beyond their clinkety-clank 2011 debut. It's also half-instrumental, which is all for the best—sidemen should always get it together so daringly. Read more about this event >>
-
When not dreaming up wild outfits for Karen O to rock out in (who could forget the Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer in her Indian headdress at the Glastonbury festival?), Christian Joy is busy working on her own outlandish art. The talented designer’s latest show at Secret Project Robot is titled Bok Joy and includes large hanging soft sculptures that blend screen-printed canvas, hand-cut vinyl,... Read more about this event >>
-
Among the best of this fine all-over-the-map guitarist's albums is his 2003 tribute to Zhou Xuan and Bai Guang, two of China's so-called Seven Great Singing Stars during the 1930s and '40s. Lucas, who discovered the shidaiqu sound while living in Taiwan, updates their sultry, sentimental, and very beautiful music with the help of his Gods and Monsters band with Shanghai vocalists Sally Kwok... Read more about this event >>
-
In a recent interview with The New York Times, real-life married couple Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz seemed as happy as could be: She thinks he’s a great cook, they love to go on luxury vacations, and they relish opportunities to work together. In other words, when they break each other’s hearts as the less-than-happy husband and wife in Harold Pinter’s 1978 masterwork,... Read more about this event >>
-
A couple of seasons ago, we attended a ThreeASFOUR presentation in a West Village loft that resembled an underground party more than a Fashion Week event. Designers Gabriel Asfour, Adi Gil, and Angela Donhauser have long remained true to their aesthetic, and they rarely present their shows in a typical runway setting because they see their avant-garde pieces as art, not as clothes meant for a...

Anyone sore at Audra MacDonald for bailing on the now-embalmed Private Practice to focus on her singing career really should experience the electric magic that happens when this five-time Tony Award winner takes the stage and approaches a microphone. Simply put, she inhabits and embodies standards like "Over The Rainbow" and "Summertime" so fully and effortlessly that it's as if every song... Read more about this event >>
-
Brooklyn singer-songwriter Theo Katzman is one to watch, soulfully crooning and writing funky and sweet songs that balance the romance of indie with the fun of pop. Between starring in some infectious music videos for his singles (including the dance break-featuring clip for "Brooklyn") and spending part of his summer supporting Darren Criss on his tour, it's a wonder Katzman found time to... Read more about this event >>
-
Even after guitarist Vernon Reid's forward-thinking metal band Living Colour achieved double-platinum status for their 1988 breakthrough debut Vivid, the Black Rock Coalition founder continues raising awareness about other musicians. His latest endeavor, the Stark, Raving, Sane Music Series at Ginny's Supper Club, will spotlight Tamar-kali, whose powerful voice can cut through hard-rock... Read more about this event >>
-
Yep, the great one arrived in Alabama a century or so ago, and though he left the planet in ’93, his spectacular music is still getting much play from his feisty lieutenant, Marshall Allen, and the revolving door of musicians who populate the Arkestra on any given night. They know all about the idiosyncratic nature of swing and still have a grand time exploding standards, waxing... Read more about this event >>
-
Not long after Alison Bechdel wrote a letter to her parents telling them she was a lesbian, her father, Bruce, was struck and killed by a Sunbeam Bread truck. But, she wonders in her bestselling 2006 graphic memoir, Fun Home, could it have been a suicide? Returning to her childhood, she tells of growing up with her funeral-director dad, a closeted homosexual who maintained a tyrannical rule... Read more about this event >>

Born in Paris in 1951, Blek le Rat first discovered graffiti in New York in the early ’70s and, a decade later, became one of the first graffiti artists in Paris. He is also credited as the first to use life-size stencils—his signature stencil being a rat silhouette. As critic Carlo McCormick wrote, “Blek le Rat is central to the greater story of how urban visual vernacular... Read more about this event >>

Allen Toussaint’s songs were once defined by the kind of slippery funk that could only be found in New Orleans—50 variations of backbeat girding hits by Lee Dorsey, Ernie K-Doe, and other regional heroes. On the new Songbook album and DVD, he gives us a one-man career retrospective that’s all about grace. These solo romps through “It’s Raining,” “Holy... Read more about this event >>

Tavi Gevinson is the ultimate cool girl. In 2008, the 11-year-old started the fashion blog Style Rookie. Three years later, she sported silver hair while chatting up Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld at New York Fashion Week. Now she’s in charge of Rookie, an online magazine written primarily by teens, for teens, with only the hippest guest contributors (Rodarte, Thom Yorke, etc.). See... Read more about this event >>
-
He’s a lapsed Mormon back in the city that he visits far too infrequently, he’s calling this musical return “Spencer Day’s One-Man Show: Day Trippin’.” Bright and good-looking, he’s drawn his influences from all over the place and gives some hints where when, in addition to original ditties, he sings Cole Porter, Carmen Miranda, Nirvana, and the...

The Italian progressive rockers formerly known as the Cherry Five entered horror-movie history in 1975 when, Pink Floyd being unavailable, Goblin stepped in at the last minute to score Dario Argento’s ultraviolent giallo classic Profondo Rosso. Combining the technical smarts of bands like Genesis and King Crimson with the emotional techne of film composers like Bernard Hermann, Goblin... Read more about this event >>

If our current way of life were to be suddenly wiped out, what traditions from the past would survivors hold on to? Playwright Anne Washburn explores this scenario in Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play, which imagines that, of all things, Bart Simpson would become a vital part of the new society’s mythology. Steve Cosson directs the Playwrights Horizons production, with music by Michael... Read more about this event >>

If you take 2003’s Sí, 2006’s Limón y Sal, and 2010’s Otra Cosa out of view, one gets a very different impression of Julieta Venegas. Gone, for the most part, would be the pop chanteuse of that trilogy of albums, whose effervescent tunes catapulted her into the upper echelons of Latin-Pop stardom, and instead, one would find an artist more interested in texture...

-
As one of indie rock and alt-country’s most enigmatic and downright recalcitrant figures, Bill Callahan has always left his fans wanting more. Whether working under the moniker (Smog) (with or without parentheses) or his given name, he has always recorded songs that, through characters, seemed to give glimpses of who he is. A recent documentary, Apocalypse: A Bill Callahan Tour Film,... Read more about this event >>

When we first met Earl Sweatshirt, he was but a 16-year-old kid, sitting in a hair salon, blending and drinking the foulest-looking beverage imaginable and rapping impossibly dense bars. Three years later, the kid still might not be grown, but he remains wise beyond his years, spending the time in between at Samoan boarding school but returning stronger than ever, confident and self-aware...

-
“Rock of Ages,” the celebrated hymn based on First Corinthians, will not appear in this Broadway musical. Instead expect the hits of Foreigner, Styx, Pat Benatar, and Journey. The nominal plot centers on a romance conducted in the unsalubrious environs of the Sunset Strip circa 1987. Read more about this event >>

With the exclamation point safely placed back in their name, Panic! At the Disco have returned to their noir-esque, weird selves as they prepare to release their latest album, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, also complete with an exclamation point. The title, a reference to Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas keeps up with the band's attraction to literary themes (see... Read more about this event >>

For all the hoo-ha about how scary and threatening Scandinavian black metal is, few bands actually cover themselves in animal blood and worship Satan, and even fewer make it to the States to tour. One of the lucky ones—if you want to call them that—is Watain, a Swedish group who have boasted about making audiences vomit from the smell of their own putrid, blood-soaked clothes. So...

Some years ago, composer/lyricist Michael Weiner asked an actress out on a date. She declined (though she later married him) and from this a Broadway musical was born. Weiner has teamed with colleague Alan Zachary and writer Austin Winsberg for this show about all that can go wrong—and right—on a blind date. Read more about this event >>

Love the antics of the female prisoners in Orange Is the New Black? The people at St. Ann’s Warehouse must agree. For the first production of their season, they’re bringing over from London the highly praised and highly original Donmar Warehouse production of Julius Caesar. Set in a women’s prison, the inmates and guards put on Shakespeare’s play, with a live... Read more about this event >>
