This isn't just a concert—it's an exploration of music's power to preserve memory and humanity in the face of adversity. Join Joseph Amadeus, award-winning composer and your personal host, for an immersive evening centered around the profound "Music of Exile and Remembrance" performance, part of Lincoln Center's acclaimed Summer for the City series. The evening begins at the sophisticated Ascent Lounge overlooking Columbus Circle, where you’ll meet Joseph for a welcome drink and pre-show conversation. Together, you’ll decode the night’s program: Music of Exile and Remembrance, a powerful tribute to artists who composed in exile, featuring works by Erich Korngold, William Grant Still, and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Joseph will share historical context, musical insights, and what to listen for in these emotionally resonant works. Then you’ll head to the newly renovated David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center for the live performance, part of the Summer for the City series. With prime seating and Joseph's perspective framing each piece, you’ll experience the program on a deeper level. After the final note, the experience concludes at Empire Rooftop with a nightcap and post-show debrief. It’s a chance to reflect, ask questions, and connect more personally with the themes of resilience and creativity under duress.
