Concerts in the Catacombs

Death of Classical and The Green-Wood Cemetery announce the second season of The Angel’s Share, the acclaimed concert series featuring opera and chamber music in the Cemetery’s Catacombs.

Each evening begins with a reception at sunset featuring a whiskey tasting and views of the Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor. At dusk, guests will then wander along winding paths to Catacombs for the performance.

Liszt: Poetic and Religious Harmonies
September 24, 25, 26 & 27 2010; 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Almost no one plays the complete Poetic and Religious Harmonies by Franz Liszt. Between the sheer finger-bending virtuosity, emotionally-draining intensity, and epic length, each of the ten movements stands as its very own musical monolith. But when experienced all together, the cycle gains an almost mystical transcendence, a spiritual journey from the opening “Invocation,” the meditative glow of “The Blessing of God in Solitude,” the anguish of “Funeral,” and the quiet rapture of “Hymn of Love.” It’s a lot for one pianist to take on, so these programs will feature a pair of keyboard stars: Adam Tendler and Jenny Lin, both bringing their unique talents and vision to their respective half of the piece.

Performers:
Adam Tendler, piano
Jenny Lin, piano
PLEASE NOTE: Ticketholders must be 21 years or older. Reservations are recommended.
