What
a Neighborhood! presents warm, intimate, exciting performances
that celebrate Manhattanville, Morningside Heights, & the
Manhattan Valley primarily through the music of living local composers.
We founded the series in 2003 to encourage and inspire composers
and draw neighbors together, helping to make manifest a strong
community that includes all the diversity of our area. We are
in New York City!
Our sixth season will feature music by twelve local composers
including several premieres, fabulous sopranos and guest instrumentalists,
local choirs, two exhibits of paintings and drawings, and readings
of poetry by local poets. Neat neighbors and artists mingle at
our concerts, most of which are followed by receptions.
We would love to get to know you. Please say hello at one of the
receptions, call us at 212-222-2101, or email us at orfeoduo@gmail.com.
Let us know of any composers of any age who might not yet be listed
on our map of over
200 neighborhood composers or if you are interested in writing
your own music!
Bring your friends and family! Meet your neighbors!
Love, Vita and Ishmael Wallace, the Orfeo Duo |
What
a Neighborhood! programs leave our audiences “flying
out of the hall” “so inspired!”
Our CD “A Stroll Through Our Neighborhood”
features music from the first five years of What
a Neighborhood!
It is available for free at our concerts or order it for $5.
You may call 212-222-2101 to order.
