The 2025 China Now Music Festival concludes with a dynamic 3-part program of multi-sensory and multi-disciplinary performances, featuring propulsive percussion, contemporary dance, and a new chamber opera. The Bard East/West Ensemble performs, comprising of a Western string quintet, seven Chinese instrumentalists, and two percussionists, with Jindong Cai conducting.

The chamber opera Mi 谜 (The Enigma) premiered in December 2023, featuring a libretto by Pan Geng and music by Ma Hanrui. Pan’s libretto is an homage to David Henry Hwang’s acclaimed play M. Butterfly. In Mi, Pan and Ma draw inspiration from Hwang’s story to explore issues of illusion and desire in their own unique voice. The arrangement weaves together three vocal roles—a tenor, a baritone, and a male dan from Peking Opera—supported by the Bard East/West Ensemble’s unique fusion of Chinese and Western instruments. Over two short acts, the piece relates the tragic story of a French officer entangled in his own "Madame Butterfly" fantasy. Elegant and unsettling, Mi explores themes of identity, deception, and the devastating power of cultural myth.

Yu Xiangwei, Peking opera performer
Eric Finbarr Carey, tenor
Nathaniel Sullivan, baritone
Bard East/West Ensemble
Jindong Cai, conductor

Piano Lunaire welcomes you to reconsider identities of queer artists in classical music and reflect on the nature of the "queer" musical canon. This evening brings together the exceptional talents of mezzo-soprano Claire McCahan, baritone Nathaniel Sullivan, and pianist Adam Sherkin, as each of these three artists bring their own corners of the canon to the stage in a myriad song program that asks big questions about the queer experience.

Composers and performers unacknowledged or uncelebrated in their own time are here given voices afresh. Join us in celebrating what author E.M. Forster identified as a "great unrecorded history" of queer artists and their contributions through the 20th and 21st centuries.

Program to include works by Michael Genese, Adam Sherkin, Annika Socolofsky, Chris DeBlasio, David Del Tredici, and more.

General Admission: $25
Seniors & Arts Workers: $20

For the inaugural season of Riverview Chamber Series, baritone Nathaniel Sullivan and pianist Jesse Goldberg present a program featuring Robert Schumann’s beloved Liederkreis, Op. 39 (Eichendorff), paired with Samuel Barber’s enigmatic song cycle Despite and Still.

Admission is free and open to the public. Advanced ticket reservation is encouraged.

For more than 100 years, Brick Church has performed John Stainer’s The Crucifixion on Good Friday. This year’s 101st performance will feature soloists Sean Fallen and Nathaniel Sullivan, along with organist Alistair Reid.

Stainer’s music tells the story of Jesus’ sacrifice and humanity’s redemption with dramatic solos, choruses, and hymns sung by the entire congregation. Its enduring popularity testifies to Stainer’s skill in painting the text, most famously in his sublime unaccompanied setting of “God So Loved The World.”

Admission is free and open to the public. A freewill offering will be collected.
