Acclaimed Concert Series GatherNYC Is Back With Free Pop-Up Concerts

The acclaimed weekly concert series GatherNYC has announced that they have received funding from the New York City Artist Corps to present outdoor pop-up concerts in downtown and uptown locations. Featuring GatherNYC artistic directors Laura Metcalf and Rupert Boyd on cello and guitar, respectively, as well as violinists Michelle Ross and Katie Hyun and violist Melissa Reardon, the concerts will include an eclectic mix of chamber music by Astor Piazzolla, Osvoldo Golijov, Florence Price, Beyoncé and more. GatherNYC concerts also feature a storytelling performance and a collective celebration of silence.

"I am so grateful to the New York Foundation for the Arts for providing this funding to the City Artist Corps, so that we are able to offer this great music free to our fellow New Yorkers" says Metcalf. "These outdoor concerts are a great way to safely return to live music events. GatherNYC is deeply committed to providing a unique, mindful and community-focused chamber music experience, and we look forward to offering that both uptown and downtown with these concerts! We're also grateful to our partner venues, Nancy Manocherian's the cell theatre and The Porch, for opening their doors to us and our audience."
