23. Hear New York Festival of Song
The season finale. Merkin Hall, April 13.
Is there a genre more eternal, more intimate, or more varied than the song? The resilient group NYFOS, which has spent three decades exploring the simple, infinite terrain of voice + words + piano, closes out its comeback season with a program devoted to Black composers, with music by H. Leslie Adams, Margaret Bonds, Harry Burleigh, Adolphus C. Hailstork, Robert Owens, Hale Smith, and William Grant Still.
