The DiMenna Center for Classical Music

Without a doubt, the 28th Annual MATA Festival is the liveliest and most interesting musical event happening in NYC on Memorial Day weekend, May 21 - 23. Ever since the Festival was co-founded by Philip Glass in the 1990s, it has been the prime opportunity for concertgoers to hear “Tomorrow’s Music Today.”

This year’s programs are fascinating and provocative – tap-dancing to music by Morton Feldman and Steve Reich, anyone? – and the performers are top-notch, including violinists Miranda Cuckson, Conrad Harris, and Leah Asher, pianists Marilyn Nonken and Taka Kigawa, BlackBox Ensemble, Unnameable Strings, and tap/pointe dance company The Bang Group, among others. Plus, there’s a six-hour experimental “rave” on May 20! All in all, the MATA Festival is not to be missed.Transformation is the keynote of this year’s opening concert, a provocative encounter between instrumental performance and movement. The Bang Group executes Steve Reich’s Clapping Music with tap shoes, and reimagines Feldman's For John Cage – scored for piano and violin – as a tap dance. At the heart of the program are intriguing new solo and duo scores for violin, flute, voice, and electronics by Yifan Guo, Liann J Kang, Anselm McDonnell, Kaleena Miller, Sami Seif, and Zihan Wu, performed by MATA Mavens. While diverse in style, many of their works display a striking engagement with language. Bang choreographer David Parker interprets Pauline Kim Harris’s Sparkle Too with 10 pointe and eight tap shoes, and caps the evening with his witty Schlemiezel, a duo for dancers in Velcro-covered suits.

Plus, there’s a six-hour experimental “rave” on May 20! All in all, the MATA Festival is not to be missed.
Like the rugmakers he so admired, Feldman eschewed formal systems, preferring to work intuitively. Strings take center stage in this program of extended-duration works. Unnameable Strings perform an eponymous piece by ensemble members Ana Luisa Diaz de Cossio and Jennifer Gersten, scored for four violins, viola, three cellos, and bass. Zosha Warpeha performs Basalt on the Hardanger d’Amore, a modern Norwegian instrument with five bowed and five sympathetic strings, joined by co-composer Tristan Kasten-Krause on contrabass. Composer/cellist Laura Raquel Cetilia performs her Layers Turn Liquid with fellow cellist Julie Kim, plus Marilyn Nonken and Taka Kigawa on pianos. Nonken and Kigawa join violinist Conrad Harris for the evening’s final piece, Bunita Marcus’s mesmerizing Two Pianos and Violin.

All in all, the MATA Festival is not to be missed.‘Local music’ refers to Feldman’s focused exploration of isolated, quiet, and intimate sound moments – the "local" action of a single note or chord over the overall structure, creating a physical sound-world that emphasizes the tactile, immediate properties of sound. The seven-member BlackBox Ensemble (flute/clarinet/piano/percussion/violin/cello/voice), conducted by Leonard Bopp, plays finely detailed scores by Laila Arafah, Erich Barganier, Kristupas Bubnelis, Gillian Rae Perry, Floriana Provenzano, and Jessica Shand. Like Feldman, they often draw inspiration from literature, philosophy, and visual media. Rounding out the program are two iconic works by Feldman from the 1970s: For Frank O’Hara, and I Met Heine on the Rue Fürstenberg.

In Ghosts of a Holy War, award-winning journalist Yardena Schwartz presents a meticulously researched and dynamic history of the 1929 massacre of Jews in Hebron — an event that became ground zero of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Drawing on century-old letters discovered in a Memphis attic, alongside contemporary interviews with Israelis and Palestinians living in Hebron today, Schwartz reveals how the causes and aftershocks of 1929 have reverberated for the last century — including in the aftermath of October 7, 2023. As Yossi Klein Halevi writes, “If you are going to read one book to help you understand the current Middle East tragedy, this is it.” It was also just announced that Schwartz’s narrative is being adapted into a feature film by Crystal City Entertainment.
Joining her in conversation is Noam Weissman, Executive Vice President of OpenDor Media and host of the Unpacking Israeli History podcast and co-host of the Wondering Jews podcast. Weissman is known for approaching Israeli history with intellectual rigor, educational depth, and a commitment to complexity — challenging both romanticized and reductive narratives. The conversation will be guided by 92NY Senior Director of Jewish Life Rabbi David Ingber. His spiritual insight will be asking not only what happened, but how the stories we inherit shape Jewish identity, communal discourse, and Israel education today.
Together, Schwartz and Weissman and Rabbi Ingber will explore the origins of the conflict, the power of historical memory, and the urgent need to rethink how Israel is taught in Jewish spaces.

Featuring performances by dancers from Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Gauthier Dance//Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart among them Andrew Cummings, and others.
“Choreographer Aszure Barton speaks a language of raw emotion: a punch to the gut, a tightening heart. Her works tell the never-ending story of what it means to be human.” — Carmen Kovacs, dramaturg
Aszure Barton is among the most original and sought-after choreographers of her generation — a singular voice whose work has moved audiences around the world, from Nederlands Dans Theater to Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. We are honored to close our Women Move the World 2025/26 Harkness Mainstage Series with a landmark event that celebrates her holistic vision.
As director of Aszure Barton &amp; Artists | AB&amp;A — a multidisciplinary dance hub founded in New York in the early 2000s — Aszure has expanded beyond the conventional choreographer-company structure by reshaping what it means to build a body of work, “a mobile home for trusted humans,” as she says. Since its inception, she’s been generating dance language with her most-trusted AB&amp;A crew while simultaneously creating commissions worldwide — all through a rigorous, collaborative process that simultaneously respects and dismantles classical and contemporary forms. AB&amp;A serves as both a watering hole and connecting thread for this choreographer and her collaborators.
This 92NY celebration shares her interconnected web of community with ours by bringing together AB&amp;A artists from across the globe, including dancers from Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Gauthier Dance//Dance Company Theaterhaus Stuttgart among them Andrew Cummings, and others. In a single evening, audience members will witness a breadth of Aszure’s artistic voice through artists who have inspired her process over the years. This gathering highlights her path as a prolific choreographer, celebrating where the work has been and will go while uplifting her love of music and longtime collaborators — giving you a grasp of how she has and will continue to reshape the dance landscape internationally.

“FIVE SESSIONS…A War in Therapy”
A RAW AND EXPLOSIVE NEW YORK THEATRICAL EVENT THAT CHALLENGES THE LIMITS OF THERAPY AND JUSTICE
“FIVE SESSIONS…A War in Therapy”–, a gripping new play by the playwright&nbsp; (JS/MSW) Jaime Estades. Set in present-day New York City, this intense psychological drama confronts audiences with urgent questions about systemic injustice, and the limits of institutional care.
Over the course of five charged therapy sessions, the audience is drawn into a confined space where two individuals collide: a recent graduate therapist with a privilege background–trained with clinical tools and good intentions but non-experiential, and a Latino building superintendent, labor organizer, and a man on the edge, shaped by grief, exploitation, and systemic neglect. “FIVE SESSIONS…A War in Therapy”—it is a theatrical confrontation. It is a necessary one.Production Details:

The 4-Step Strategy to Attract an Equal Partner Without the App Fatigue
<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dating-is-dead-why-nycs-most-successful-women-like-you-are-still-single-tickets-1988244035432?" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">BUY&nbsp;YOUR&nbsp;TICKETS&nbsp;HERE</a>
The more successful you become, the harder dating gets. You already know this. What you don't know is exactly why — and what to do about it.
You dread opening your DMs. Blind dates feel like a second job interview. You've taken more breaks from dating than you can count. And you're starting to wonder if love is just not in the cards for you.
Here's the truth: there are more than 30 reasons why dating is so hard in New York for a woman like you. Most workshops only cover 3 factors (time, dating apps, and a shrinking pool of men). Not only is this the only workshop covering them all, but it's the only workshop giving you real, practical solutions to overcome them, step-by-step.
Dating Is DEAD: How NYC's Most Successful Women Are (Finally) Finding Love—And You Can Too is a 5-hour live masterclass and workshop for successful single women in NYC who are done being razor-sharp in every area of their lives except their love life. No recycled advice. A full reset — built specifically for modern, high-achieving NYC women who want an equal, emotionally intelligent, values-matched partner.
This is an investment in a strategic approach to your love life, designed to equip you with actionable insights and a supportive community.
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
✔ We don't just talk about the 3 reasons you feel powerless in love (app algorithms, time, and a smaller pool of men). We discuss the 8 patterns and 30 + reasons the most successful women struggle in dating—but more importantly, tools you can use to overcome all of these patterns.
✔ Clarity on the patterns keeping you stuck — people-pleasing, over-functioning, tolerating misaligned values, and more — and a real plan to break them
✔ A values-aligned partner profile built around your ambitions and your vision for your life, not a generic checklist
✔ A practical dating strategy you can implement immediately, designed for feminist women who refuse to compromise on what matters
✔ Real connection with a community of like-minded single women in New York who are also done shrinking — and done doing this alone
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
→ You're a successful, independent woman who wants a real relationship on your terms
→ You're exhausted by dating apps, situationships, and emotionally unavailable men
→ Your values aren't a talking point — they show up in how you live and who you are — and you want a partner who can say the same
→ You want to date intentionally, attract an equal, and stop feeling behind in your love life
