Polish National Ballet

What: “Our mission,” says Krzystof Pastor, director of the Polish National Ballet, “is to show that we are young, dynamic, innovative and creative.” To this end, the company makes its New York debut with three works displaying the elaborate partnering and athleticism that have characterized its aesthetic since 2009 when Pastor became its director. On tap is Emanuel Gat’s Rite of Spring, whose frenetic Latin American dance movement set to Stravinsky music prompted Le Figaro to describe it as “salsa on top of a volcano.” Two works by Pastor—Adagio & Scherzo, set to Shubert, and Moving Rooms, set to Schnittke and Górecki—complete the dazzling program.

50 Pianos. 5 Boroughs. #SFHPianos

What: This beloved public art installation brings brightly colored pianos to the parks and public spaces of NYC’s five boroughs for anyone and everyone to play. For two weeks in the summer, 50 pianos — each a unique art piece created by a different artist or designer — will serve as gathering places in their communities, hosting impromptu concerts by professionals and amateurs alike in an open festival of music for all of New York City. 
After the two-week public exhibition, Sing for Hope donates the instruments to the under-resourced organizations we serve year round, allowing the pianos to enrich lives for years to come. While their time on the streets is a joyful event for our city, the Sing for Hope Pianos’ true impact lies in their service as ongoing cornerstones of arts access for communities and individuals in need.
