SILKROAD UP CLOSE: KAORU WATANABE, KINAN AZMEH, AND MAEVE GILCHRIST

Traversing the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, Silkroad presents a brand new trio seamlessly blending three disparate narratives of language and sound. Three internationally acclaimed, genre-bending artists who each have been credited with reshaping the landscape of their respective instruments through their unique improvisational styles and compositional voices. 

Hailing from Damascus, Syria, Kinan Azmeh has been taking the international music scene by storm with his unique blending of Eastern and Western styles, bombastic improvisation and large-scale compositions for orchestras such as the New York Philharmonic, the London Philharmonic and the Seattle Symphony. 

Acclaimed composer and instrumentalist Kaoru Watanabe‘s work is grounded in traditional Japanese music while imbued with contemporary jazz, improvisation, and experimental music elements, working with such figures as Laurie Anderson, Jason Moran and André 3000. 

Scottish harper and composer Maeve Gilchrist has been credited with bringing the Celtic harp to new levels of visibility through her unique improvisational and textural approach to the instrument and her collaborations with artists such as from Arooj Aftab, Yo-Yo Ma, The Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Esperanza Spalding. 

Through this unique collaboration, hear three very different voices in conversation with one another as they find the sweet spots of stylistic intersection, dramatic contrast and virtuosity, forging an entirely new aesthetic that feels as organic as can be.

SOUTH FORK PERFORMING ARTS: MARIAN, OR THE TRUE OF ROBIN HOOD, TEEN EDITION

Friday, May 29, 7 PM
Saturday, May 30, 7 PM
Sunday, May 31, 7 PM

MARIAN, OR THE TRUE TALE OF ROBIN HOOD: TEEN EDITION
By Adam Szymkowicz

A gender-bending, patriarchy-smashing, hilarious new take on the classic tale, adapted for performance by teen actors for family audiences. Robin Hood is (and has always been) Maid Marian in disguise and leads a motley group of Merry Men (few of whom are actually men) against the greedy Prince John. As the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, who will stand for the vulnerable if not Robin? What is the cost of revealing your true self in a time of trouble? Modern concerns and romantic entanglements clash on the battlefield and on the ramparts of Nottingham Castle in this play about selfishness, selflessness, love deferred and the fight. Always the fight. The fight must go on.

NEXT / NOW: A CLIVE DAVIS INSTITUTE SHOWCASE

Next / Now brings a new wave of artists from NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music to Guild Hall for a night of original performance, hosted by Jeff Peretz. The program spotlights a generation pushing boundaries across sound, storytelling, and technology.

From stripped-back songwriting to genre-defying production and globally inspired musical traditions, the evening captures music in motion—fresh, in-progress, and happening right now. It’s a rare chance to experience artists at a pivotal moment, before what comes next.

Featuring Nora Conlon, an East End–based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose work blends folk and alternative rock with a focus on lyrical vulnerability and dynamic live performance; Sofia D’Angelo, a New York–based pop artist whose recent single “Time” topped a Billboard fan poll and signals a breakout solo moment; Halima, a queer artist, singer, songwriter, and producer whose sound draws from soul, electronic, alternative, and East African influences to create deeply personal and globally resonant music, earning her recognition as a singular voice and icon within queer music communities; and Ben Lapidus, a songwriter and musical comedian known for blending satire and sincerity across pop, punk, folk, and beyond. A viral favorite online, Lapidus gained national attention on America’s Got Talent with his unforgettable “Parmesan Cheese” performance and has continued to build a following through sharp songwriting and offbeat humor.

Rush Tickets: A limited number of $25 rush tickets will be on sale for this performance, starting 20 minutes before the program begins, in person only, subject to availability. Customers will be instructed to line up outside no earlier than 45 minutes before the start of the show in order to access rush tickets, which are max 2 per customer.

A CONVERSATION WITH SECRETARY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
Moderated by Michael Froman

Presented by Guild Hall & The Common Good
Series programmed by Ellen Chesler and Patricia Duff

Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton—former First Lady, U.S. Senator from New York, U.S. Secretary of State, two-time presidential candidate, bestselling author, and Professor of International and Public Affairs at Columbia—has spent decades at the center of American public life and global diplomacy. From advocating for women’s rights on the world stage to navigating moments of crisis and change in U.S. foreign policy, Secretary Clinton has engaged with some of the most complex challenges facing the world.

She will be joined in conversation by Michael Froman, President of the Council on Foreign Relations, for a wide-ranging discussion of diplomacy, development, and national security, touching on war and peace, shifting alliances, and the evolving role of the United States in a rapidly changing global landscape. At a time of uncertainty and realignment, Secretary Clinton offers both hard-earned insight and a clear-eyed view of what global leadership and cooperation might look like in the years ahead.
