Back on our stage this summer! Chamber music supergroup Joshua Bell, Steven Isserlis, and Jeremy Denk &amp; friends return for two concerts – and two wholly different programs – of the radiant, poetic music of one of their favorite composers – the great Romantic, Robert Schumann.
Bell and Denk open this concert with the smoldering A-Minor Sonata, one of Schumann’s finest works, and one of Bell’s favorites. Isserlis joins for the passionate D-Minor Piano Trio. The second half opens with Isserlis and Denk in the intimate and fiery Adagio and Allegro before Bell returns, joined by friends Irène Duval and Blythe Teh Engstroem for the concert’s finale – the beloved Piano Quintet, one of Schumann’s great masterworks, and widely considered the first great piano quintet.
JOSHUA BELL, violin STEVEN ISSERLIS, cello JEREMY DENK, piano
IRÈNE DUVAL, violin BLYTHE TEH ENGSTROEM, viola
Online streaming also available for 72 hours following the performance.

The American Theatre of Actors Inc

Shangri-La-La: A Comedy Musical About Siegfried &amp; Roy
What happens when two ambitious young immigrants come to America, reinvent themselves in Las Vegas, charm the world, build a rhinestone kingdom at The Mirage, and then discover that even white tigers have limits?
Shangri-La-La is a fast-moving new comedy musical inspired by the rise of Siegfried &amp; Roy — with original songs, Vegas glamour, impossible dreams, outrageous costumes, magic, friendship, immigrant reinvention, Steve Wynn, Bugsy Siegel, and just enough tiger danger to keep everyone alert.
Written by Mike Meier &amp; Peter Giambalvo, the show is part showbiz fairy tale, part immigrant dream, part Vegas fever dream — and, yes, inspired by actual events. Unfortunately.
The New York performances are part of the Midtown International Theater Festival and will take place at the American Theatre of Actors in Midtown Manhattan.
Come for the music. Stay for the magic. Leave with a renewed respect for tigers.
Performances: July 25 and July 26, 2026 Venue: American Theatre of Actors, New York City Tickets: Available through the Midtown International Theater Festival (MITF)/Eventbrite /TheaterMania

Merhcant Cash Advance Defense Attorney NYC
Many New York City business owners first discover a Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) problem <a href="https://crediblelaw.com/merchant-cash-advance-lawsuit-defense/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">after receiving a lawsuit</a>, finding out a judgment has been entered, or learning that a business bank account has been frozen.
Merchant Cash Advance disputes have become a growing concern for small businesses across New York.

&bull; Bank levy notices
&bull; UCC lien filings
&bull; Default judgment notices
&bull; Personal guarantee claims
Many business owners report that they were focused on keeping operations running and did not fully understand how quickly collection efforts could escalate. In some situations, a business may not become aware of a lawsuit until collection activity begins or access to business funds is restricted.

<ul><li>Restaurants</li><li>Construction companies</li><li>Transportation businesses</li><li>Retail stores</li><li>Medical practices</li><li>Professional service firms</li><li>E-commerce businesses</li><li>Hospitality companies</li></ul>
