SUMMARY:The Met in HD: El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego
DESCRIPTION:The Metropolitan Opera’s 2025–26 Live in HD season comes to a close with a live transmission of American composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s first opera\, a magical-realist portrait of Mexican painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera\, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz. A reversal of the Orpheus and Euridice myth\, the story depicts Frida\, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard\, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego\, portrayed by baritone Carlos Álvarez. The famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love\, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell.

SUMMARY:Mizik Ayiti! Residency Late Spring Series | Rasin Okan
DESCRIPTION:Join HCX on Thursdays for the Mizik Ayiti! Residency Series. The Spring residency will be held by Rasin Okan! \nThis residency honors the legacy of mizik rasin in Haiti and abroad and its role in collective storytelling. Rasin Okan will share popular folk songs from legends such as Lenord Fortune (a.k.a. Azor) and Jacques Fortere (a.k.a. Wawa)\, as well as original songs that echo the courage of Haiti’s freedom fighters while calling us to remember\, reconnect\, and rise. This residency is a sacred pilgrimage home—a journey for healing\, reflection\, and protection. We invite you to take this symbolic trip with us through rhythm\, drum\, dance\, and song. Let the music move your spirit. Let the memory ignite your soul. \n45-minute performances will take place at 6:30 & 7:45 PM on each Thursday. \n\nAbout Rasin Okan: Born of Haiti’s mizik rasin movement\, Rasin Okan is a Brooklyn-based Haitian roots ensemble. In the spirit of rasin sèch (directly translated to dry roots)\, Rasin Okan emphasizes the sounds and songs of traditional Haitian Vodou ceremonial music without much electric accompaniment. Led and co-founded by Jean E. Montina\, Sanba Mayombe\, the group writes original songs and evocative folk music to insight the revolutionary spirit of Haiti’s freedom fighters\, set to a pulsating rhythm. \nMembers: Jean E Montina (Sanba Mayombe)\, Trudy Pierre (Sanba Verite)\, Wilgainson Toussaint (Sanba Nènèl)\, Gregory Fanor (Atis Alèz)\, Véronëque Ignace (Awoyo) \n\nTickets include a complimentary beverage.\nSpecial pop-up offerings from Bon Pâtés.\nLimited capacity\, RSVP strongly recommended.

SUMMARY:Slide Away Music Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:SLIDE AWAY music festival is coming to Brooklyn Paramount on May 15-16! \nThe festival that celebrates itself. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA genre that lends itself to loudness can still be overheard from its origins in the 1980s. Shoegaze\, Dream Pop\, Ambient\, or whatever you may call it\, has carried itself gracefully through decades while inspiring countless subgenres and infecting all walks of music along the way. \nThe audience reflects back the legacy and continued impact with a feeling of mutual admiration and respect is palpable across generations and identities – no matter the coast. \nSLIDE AWAY is a celebration of the genre and all artists who shape sound in the most unique of ways\, all the while bridging the gap between the diverse cast of boundary pushing mavericks of yesterday with the genre bending savants of now.
