Produced by American Opera Projects, The Post Office makes its New York premiere featuring a cast of five singers and piano, and a set designed by Charles Renfro, a partner in the distinguished architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro with a long history of involvement in the performing arts.

Slide Away Music Festival 2026
2026-05-16 18:00 - 2026-05-17 00:00, 2026-05-15 18:00 - 2026-05-16 00:00
SLIDE AWAY music festival is coming to Brooklyn Paramount on May 15-16!
The festival that celebrates itself.

A 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.
The 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.
SLIDE 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.
