6:30-9:30pm
Journey back in time at the Lower East Side’s Tenement Museum and peek into the era of our city’s rich past, which will be the focus of OSO’s spring production of Morning Star.
Join us for:
- A private guided tour of the Museum’s historical tenements.
- Enjoy “noshes” and beverages from the rich cultural tapestry of the Lower East Side.
- Cap off the evening with an intimate salon performance with the composer and cast of Morning Star. Hear Ricky play his own compositions in an intimate performance of hand-selected pieces for the evening’s singers, and shares personal insights about his work, his inspiration, and his connection to the Morning Star story.
“If the music of Ricky Ian Gordon had to be defined by a single quality, it would be the bursting effervescence infusing songs that blithely blur the lines between art song and the high–end Broadway music of Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim. It’s caviar for a world gorging on pizza!”
–The New York Times
