Calendar of Events in New York

Back in gear after a several year absence, the visceral nature of early Nine Inch Nails has given way to something more rewardingly cerebral. Reunion album Hesitation Marks plays like the sonic equivalent of a long, winding tour through fossilized wormwood. Life may not have frontman Trent Reznor as aggrieved as it once did, but his creative muse is restless, sending rivulets of synthesizer,... Read more about this event >>
-
The New York Botanical Garden, located far uptown but within walking distance of the 2, 4/5, D, and Metro-North trains, is beautiful in the spring and summer, when the flowers are in full bloom and the leaves are at their fullest. But really, it might be best in the fall, when the toughest of those flowers are hanging on while the first of those leaves begin to fall. This week, take the train... Read more about this event >>
-
Sisters Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland may not speak, but sisters Lorna Luft and Liza Minnelli do. Tonight, they’re speaking and singing together on behalf of the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative and the Dr. Philomena McAndrew For Tower Cancer Research Foundation. Appearing with them are Nick Adams, Ann Hampton Callaway, Liz Callaway, Jim Caruso, Kelly King, Brian... Read more about this event >>
-
“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 >>

The Old Vic in London has brought some thrilling productions to New York, including last year’s Richard III at BAM, starring Kevin Spacey—who is also the Old Vic’s artistic director. Now they’re teaming up with Roundabout Theatre Company for a revival of Terence Rattigan’s 1946 drama The Winslow Boy. Set before the start of WWI, the play is based on the true...

It's hard to believe that it's been 11 years since the release of Carlton's riveting debut, Be Not Nobody, a record that set the bar high for singer-songwriters in the new millennium. Since then, she's continued to float around pop music both as an artist herself and as an influence on the latest crop of female songwriters looking to craft earnest and catchy pop songs with a little extra meat... Read more about this event >>
-
It’s been turbulent times at El Museo del Barrio, where they recently cut back on hours and staff and are facing charges of gender discrimination brought by former director Margarita Aguilar. But with their major biennial opening today, all that is put aside to make room for what matters most: the work. La Bienal 2013, titled “Here Is Where We Jump,” brings together 37...

-
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 >>

Born in Grand Prairie, Texas, and named after “Dreaming of You” singer Selena, the Wizards of Waverly Place and Spring Breakers actress Selena Gomez has scored four top-10 LPs and gone four times platinum with “Love You Like a Love Song,” all before turning 22. This year’s “Come & Get It,” the lead single from the chart-topping Stars Dance, meanwhile,... Read more about this event >>
-
Savages are an all-female English foursome who approach post-punk with a ferocious feminism that rivals the wildness of the riot grrrl movement. Fairly new on the scene, they only formed at the end of 2011 but have already won plenty of accolades from both fans and press. Expect ceaseless roiling guitar and scream-sung lyrics with deeply political and poetic intent. Read more about this event >>
-
In the last couple years, this Brooklyn quartet has brought its keenly designed tumult to plenty of stages, scrutinizing their music's nooks and crannies, beveling its sharp edges, and refining its flow. That’s one reason the new Shadow Man is so impressive—the newfound group chemistry is eloquent enough to make the saxophonist/composer’s most hurtling passages wax graceful...

-
If 2013 goes down as the year of Rick Rubin’s resurgence, with pundits and list-compilers pointing to his work on Kanye’s Yeezus and Eminem’s “Bezerk,” the Band Perry’s Pioneer will be the one that got away, a record that the Def Jam founder was initially going to produce but which ended up in the hands of Nashville go-to guy Dann Huff. The Band Perry, an... Read more about this event >>
-
Though this performance commemorates its 20-year existence, Black Moon’s canonical boom-bap rap album, Enta Da Stage, shouldn’t be regarded as a reliquary for the dry bones of styles bygone. Producers Da Beatminerz assembled the original 14 tracks like verdant terrariums, each with a micro-architecture of soiled grooves and tendrilous jazz loops, to be fully inhabited by the...

-
Schoolboy Q should not be written off as just a Kendrick Lamar affiliate, as he's far more than merely a name in the Black Hippy crew. 2012's Habits & Contradictions jittered and skittered through samples and beats cribbed from artists like Kid Cudi and Menomena and paired them with Q's stop-and-go flow,—a fierce combination. Darkly funny, moody, and passionately explicit, Schoolboy Q is... Read more about this event >>
-
When Surfer Blood's Astro Coast hit in 2010, the record felt like Weezer-style grunge rock was having a second coming. What started out as the college musical project of John Paul Pitts turned into one of the indie scene's most promising surf punk bands of the last few years. Though the release of this year's Pythons was marred by Pitts' arrest for domestic battery, he was never charged, and... 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 >>
-
As one of the revolutionaries in the New York art movement of the 1940s, Robert Motherwell started a gang of sorts that included other abstract or “automatic” artists, as he called them, like Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, William Baziotes, and Willem de Kooning. And the leader of the gang, or at least the person who could actually sell their work, was Peggy Guggenheim, who gave... Read more about this event >>
-
David Dorfman’s long career has focused on human relations: the dance company as family or community; the stage as playing field, battlefield, town square. Making its third appearance in the Next Wave Festival with Come, and Back Again, David Dorfman Dance once again uses period mood music—this time by the ’90s underground band Smoke—to undergird the...

Innovative classical composer Nico Muhly's opera Two Boys has its U.S. premiere this month at the Met, but here he takes time to pay homage to one of his key influences, British Neoclassical composer Benjamin Britten. As part of the Britten centennial celebration, Muhly leads a cadre of classical luminaries in performance of excerpts from Britten's opera A Midsummer Night's Dream, Cabaret...

-
Essentially a supergroup composed of Alex Bleeker (Alex Bleeker & The Freaks), Matthew Mondanile (Ducktails), Martin Courtney (Titus Andronicus), and Etienne Duguay (Predator Vision), Real Estate makes lackadaisical synth pop, but they do it so well that instead of feeling lazy, the slowness itself becomes gripping. Although their last album, Days came out in 2011, even two years later it... Read more about this event >>
-
A pioneer of the ’80s Neo-Geo movement (short for neo-geometric conceptualism), along with Jeff Koons, Peter Halley, and Meyer Vaisman, Ashley Bickerton suddenly dropped out of the East Village scene in 1993 and moved to Bali, where he remains two decades later. His latest show, and his fourth solo exhibition at Lehmann Maupin, is a new series of portraits of women that begins not with... 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 >>
-
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 >>
-
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...

With his array of gaudy tattoos, bling, and the accentuated visuals of his videos, Houston rapper Riff Raff might remind you of the colorful fruit-flavored sodas, quarter waters, and cheap candy so characteristic of childhood in the Southern hoods of the U.S., where young people grow up in a world in which striking blends of high fructose corn syrup and food coloring often end up discarded...

-
The Dismemberment Plan were the standard bearers of indie rock during the period between the implosion of Pavement in 1999 and the emergence of the Strokes and the White Stripes in 2001. As rock seemed to be on its last legs, the D.C.-based band stumbled upon a sound that funneled their post-hardcore roots into a late-Pavement-like languor with chord progressions that sounded like Sting at... Read more about this event >>
-
Former Fleet Foxes drummer Josh Tilllman has been touring the bejezus out of 2011's terrific Jonathan Wilson–produced Fear Fun. But there's new material on the way, and this is a solo version, so there will probably be even more amusing banter than usual in-between this ersatz guru-stripper's gimlet-eyed musical observations draped in vintage Laurel Canyon arrangements. Read more about this event >>
-
The career of Bristol electronic duo Fuck Buttons has been an odd one. Out of the gate, they swung with a haphazard, noisy approach that was almost hardcore in nature, while on their next outing, they glommed fast to beats. By the 2012 Olympics opening ceremonies and Slow Focus, issued earlier this year, Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power had sorted out how to marry both approaches into a...

-
Fans of the pianist’s vivid imagination have been waiting for his solo move, and the impressionistic vibe of the new Arborescence is a sizable payoff. In a recital that stresses a commitment to mood over a show of chops, each of the pieces in his suite-like program are brimming with a sense of place. Boasting a bit of drama, a folkish ambiance, and an provocative sort of reflection,... Read more about this event >>

Broadway sees a lot of jazz hands, but not much actual jazz. But the Main Stem should sound a lot more syncopated with this new musical, which features the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Loosely based on Duke Ellington’s stint at the legendary Cotton Club, it features the likes of Babyface, Toni Braxton, and k.d. lang. Read more about this event >>
-
What do you think puts more of a strain on the typical marriage: engaging in polyamory or co-writing a play about it? Justine Lambert and Kenneth Nowell may well find out when their “modern-day fairy tale about open marriage” plays at the Looking Glass Theatre. Alice Jankell directs the nuptial roundelay.

Formed in 2001, Terakaft is literally related to Tinariwen, the oldest and most respected of the Tamashek-speaking Tuareg bands of northern Mali. Original Tinariwen songwriter Liya Ag Ablil (a/k/a Diara) joined his nephew, guitarist Sanou Ag Ahmed and Kedou Ag Ossad in 2006. Like Tinariwen, Terakaft plays what they call "assouf," although you may know it as Mali's desert blues. It's still a... Read more about this event >>

One of South Indian classical (Carnatic) music's deepest devotional singers, Jayashri is also the composer and performer of "Pi's Lullaby," from Life of Pi. Beside being immersed in the classical tradition, she was also a renowned Bollywood "playback" singer and has collaborated with Finland's Avanti orchestra. She'll perform here accompanied by violin, mridgangam drum, and ghatam pot, so... 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 >>
