SUMMARY:Sunny Jain's Wild Wild East
DESCRIPTION:Prior Presents 2025–26\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sunny Jain’s Wild Wild East\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				A co-presentation with the Department of Music\n			\n				Purchase Tickets\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nThe career of composer\, drummer and dhol player Sunny Jain is a celebration of cultural diaspora. Its deep-rooted tradition ripples outward\, changing – and being changed by – the cultures that it touches. The ease with which Jain braids his sound highlights the interconnectedness of global styles — and that sense of connection goes beyond the music itself\, as Jain leads his group across genre borders he knows are arbitrary.  \nDefined by its restlessness\, and daring enough to encompass many different identities\, Wild Wild East is raucous\, powerful\, gorgeous\, jubilant\, dissonant\, and built of a truly American spirit. In other words\, it recognizes a world that’s always changing: today’s cowboy or cowgirl learns how to adapt to their conditions\, seeing that they’re just as conditional as everything around them.  \nCalled the “Hendrix of dhol” by Manchester Salon (UK)\, Jain is most known for founding the pioneering band Red Baraat\, a frenzied fusion of bhangra\, hip-hop\, jazz\, rock\, and sheer\, unbridled energy. NPR called them “the best party band in years” and their 2017 NPR Tiny Desk concert was touted as the 8th best TDC of all time by New York Magazine. He and his current five-piece band have toured the country and the world with performances from his Smithsonian Folkways Recordings album Wild Wild East.  \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Details\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Mar 12\, 20267:30 p.m. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Price\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				$35 | $45 | $55 \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nLuth Concert Hall\nThe Prior Performing Arts Center \n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					“The indefatigable drummer and dhol player Sunny Jain is an unrepentant maximalist.” \n					Jay Ruttenberg\n					Contributor\, The New Yorker \n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Explore More

Among these projects are theater productions\, dance festivals and competitions such as the International Lindy Hop Championships\,  The Xperience\, Midsummer Night’s Swing\, and the celebrated SW!NG OUT show at the Joyce Theater (co-creator and musical director).

SUMMARY:Reframing Identity Through Our Histories: Hilary Doyle\, Colleen Fitzgerald & Leslie Schomp
DESCRIPTION:Cantor Art Gallery\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Reframing Identity Through Our Histories\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Hilary Doyle\, Colleen Fitzgerald & Leslie Schomp\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nHilary Doyle\, Colleen Fitzgerald\, and Leslie Schomp discuss their work currently on view at the Cantor Art Gallery. Each artist uniquely foregrounds the role of history in examining contemporary society\, whether through familial history\, historic figures\, or cultural heritage traditions. Each mines personal or public archives to consider how we deal with the past to speak to contemporary issues around gender equality\, social issues\, memory\, and the self. \nDoyle explores the life and work of German scientific illustrator Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) to highlight the persistent need for women to push against societal norms. Fitzgerald reimagines family portraiture and self-portraiture by examining how we hold on to memories and construct personal histories. Schomp uses the history of lace and needlework to address issues such as political polarization\, gun violence\, and women’s sexuality. \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Details\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				March 25\, 2026\n12:30 p.m.\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Price\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Free Entry\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nCantor Art Gallery\n3rd Floor\, Prior Performing Arts Center

DESCRIPTION:Prior Presents 2025–26\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				yMusic\n			\n				Purchase Tickets\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				 \n\nyMusic is a genre-leading and award-winning American chamber ensemble representing the vanguard of American and contemporary music.  \nNow in its seventeenth season\, the group is renowned for its innovative and collaborative spirit. Since their inception\, yMusic has had a unique mission: to work on both sides of the divide between classical and popular music without sacrificing rigor\, virtuosity\, charisma or style. NPR Music calls them “…Deeply\, profoundly skilled\,” adding that the group has “formed a language all their own.” Named for “Generation Y\,” yMusic has been tapped to lend their orchestral sound and instantly-recognizable style to recordings and concert projects by a dizzying array of popular artists from John Legend to Paul Simon. \nRecent projects include their acclaimed first album of self-composed (2023’s yMusic) and Stories x yMusic\, a series of filmed performances featuring prominent artists such as Bruno Major\, Amy Allen and Rufus Wainwright. The ensemble was also enlisted by the Park Avenue Armory to compose an original score for renowned choreographer Kyle Abraham’s production Dear Lord\, Make Me Beautiful. \nFinally\, yMusic has released four full-length albums of commissioned music\, 2020’s Ecstatic Science\, 2017’s First\, 2014’s Balance Problems\, and 2011’s Beautiful Mechanical\, which earned Time Out New York’s “#1 Classical Record of the Year.” Additionally\, they can be found performing around the world at such venues as the Sydney Opera House\, Carnegie Hall\, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg\, and Madison Square Garden. \n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Details\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Mar 29\, 20266 p.m. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Price\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				$35 | $45 | $55 \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Venue\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nLuth Concert Hall\nThe Prior Performing Arts Center \n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					“A sextet notable for blurring the lines between classical-minded indie rockers and accessible bouts of 21st-century composition.” \n					Christopher R.
