The Theater at 150 W 17th Street

In songs about our machines, our home, and our finitude, this concert contrasts humanity’s reach with its grasp. Daniel Pesca’s “Terra Incognita” imagines four stages in the process of lunar exploration; works by Thomas Kotcheff and Joel Balzun look more closely at natural processes of wonder closer to home. A premiere of selections from leiken’s “I Have Been the Blue Salmon,” from their forthcoming evening length work “Ars moriendi” proposes a quietly soulful relationship with limitation.

Rothko Chapel

Presented in partnership with Rothko Chapel and inspired by its exploration of democracy as a "sacred space," Voice explores the responsibilities and possibilities of civic life through music, poetry, and dialogue. Featuring Houston Poet Laureates, nationally recognized composers, and civil rights leaders, the program examines freedom, dissent, equality, and the enduring work of building community. 
A program centerpiece is a new commission by Houston-based jazz composer Jalen Baker. Co-commissioned by Apollo and Rothko Chapel, the work finds inspiration from Barnett Newman's Broken Obelisk and its journey from civic controversy to beloved Houston landmark. ​ Through chamber music as a bold, collaborative vehicle for cultural harmony, Voice explores democracy beyond politics—as a living practice of empathy, courage, participation, frustration, and hope. “As the United States marks 250 years as a democratic republic, we are reminded that democracy requires listening, imagination, and a recognition of our shared humanity. Collaborating with Apollo Chamber Players on this special performance will further create fruitful dialogue, inspire action, and expand our understanding of ‘We the People.’”

MATCH, Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston

Apollo Chamber Players' Bold Serenity season concludes with Reflection, a meditation on legacy, memory, and the sharing of wisdom across generations. The heart of Reflection is a new commission by legendary Cuban composer Leo Brouwer, featuring a stunning collaboration with multiple GRAMMY®-winning performers João Luiz Rezende Lopes and Anabel Gil Díaz. Along with Houston Ballet dancers Monica Gomez and Gian Carlo Perez, the work features new choreography performed alongside dancers from Houston Ballet Academy, bringing emerging and established artists together in a shared act of intergenerational creation. The program also highlights Tolo (Sunrise) by Afghan-American composer Homayoun Sakhi and Beethoven's final string quartet, Op. 135—a late-life masterpiece that wrestles with acceptance and what we leave behind. As Apollo approaches its 20th anniversary, Reflection serves as a thematic bridge linking our past and present while boldly venturing into the future.

Light &amp; Darkness Elaine Hagenberg: Illuminare Ralph Vaughan Williams: Dona Nobis Pacem Saint Andrew Chorale &amp; Orchestra Katherine Wessinger, soprano; Rod Gomez, baritone Andrew Henderson, conductor
The Saint Andrew Chorale opens its 62nd season with two glorious choral works of the 20th and 21st Centuries. Hagenberg’s Illuminare has quickly gained a place in the modern choral repertoire, set to a compilation of sacred and poetic text in Latin and English, the piece draws on themes of light overcoming darkness. Vaughan Williams’s Dona Nobis Pacem (“Grant us peace”) is a profound plea for peace in a troubled world, setting texts from the Latin Mass alongside poetry by Walt Whitman reflecting on the horrors of war and the hope for reconciliation.

With Keren Yarhi-Milo, Nadav Eyal, Tom Nides, and Suleiman Maswadeh. What lies ahead for the US–Israel relationship?
With questions surrounding new government coalitions in Jerusalem, the elections results in the US midterms, and a rapidly changing Middle East, both nations face consequential decisions that will shape region’s future.
Join Columbia University SIPA Dean Keren Yarhi-Milo, former US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides, leading Israeli journalist and Senior Research Scholar at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs Nadav Eyal, and Palestinian-Israeli journalist and US correspondent for Israel’s Channel 13 News Suleiman Maswadeh for a timely conversation examining domestic political shifts in both countries, potential avenues for the next governing coalition, and how leadership decisions in Washington and Jerusalem will redefine the bilateral relationship.
Bringing together perspectives from diplomacy, academia and journalism, the discussion will look beyond immediate headlines and political maneuvering to ask the larger questions: What will the political landscape in Washington and Jerusalem mean for the future of the US–Israel relationship? How might Israel’s election shape relations with the Palestinians and regional partners? And where does the partnership go from here?

Online Auction

Alderfer Auction of Hatfield,&nbsp;PA, is honored to unveil an art discovery as the centerpiece of our upcoming December 10 Fine Art Auction: an unpublished, original oil portrait by one of the iconic American painters of the twentieth century, Alice Neel (1900–1984).
<h3>A Masterpiece Revealed: Dr. William Hanaway Jr.</h3>
·Estimate: $200,000 – $300,000 
·Market Status: Never publicly exhibited or published—completely fresh to the market. 
·Direct Lifelong Provenance: This exceptional canvas was presented directly by Alice Neel as a personal gift to Dr. Hanaway’s mother—her longtime close friend Nell Prince Hanaway. It has remained privately held within the sitter’s family line for decades until its consignment to Alderfer Auction. 
In Dr. William Hanaway Jr., Neel renders the young scholar, future University of Pennsylvania professor, and championship sailor with extraordinary sensitivity and graphic clarity. Positioned before a rhythmic flotilla of stylized white sailboats set against luminous ocean blues, the composition masterfully weaves his intellectual poise with his passion for the sea. It stands as an intimate testament to Neel’s ability to merge personal affection with formal daring.

<h3>Alice Neel: The Uncompromising "Collector of Souls"</h3>
Widely recognized today among the greatest portraitists in modern art history, Alice Neel was a singular, fierce visionary. Born in Pennsylvania and trained at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women (now Moore College of Art &amp; Design), she boldly forged her path through the heart of the twentieth-century American art world.
During the mid-century decades—when Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism completely dominated critical tastes and galleries largely shunned figurative work—Neel remained unswervingly committed to representing the human figure. She rejected the flattering conventions of society portraiture, instead describing herself as a “collector of souls.” Whether painting friends, family, writers, civil rights leaders, or neighbors across Spanish Harlem and Manhattan, she captured the raw psychological reality and vital spirit of her era.
While long under-recognized by an art establishment that favored abstraction and sidelined female artists, Neel's genius gained widespread acclaim through major retrospectives at the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and premier cultural institutions worldwide. Today, her works command center stage in the permanent collections of MoMA, the Met, the Tate Modern, and leading private collections globally.
