Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors
In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would be serving as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Start times: 10:30am, 12pm, 1:30pm

Book Discussion | Epic Annette: A Heroine's Tale (in Person AND Online)
Author Anne Weber and translator Tess Lewis for a conversation about the novel. What does it mean to be a hero in the 20th century?

Classical Music | Works by Schubert and More Performed by Quartet & Orchestra
The Jupiter String Quartet ("technical finesse and rare expressive maturity," New Yorker) joins the East Coast Chamber Orchestra (ECCO) for a wide-ranging program that includes Schubert's Death and the Maiden Quartet, arranged for string orchestra, and Jessie Montgomery's take on the national anthem, Banner. "Everything the group touched felt balanced and bright...And the orchestra, as always, played luminously." (NY Times) The Jupiter String Quartet: Nelson Lee, violin; Meg Freivogel, violin; Liz Freivogel, viola; Daniel McDonough, cello. Program: Franz Schubert (1797 - 1828) String Quartet in D Minor, D. 810 (Death and the Maiden). Adolphus Hailstork (1941 - ) Sonata da chiesa. Jessie Montgomery (1981 - ) Banner. The Jupiter String Quartet has accrued numerous awards, including the grand prizes in the Banff International String Quartet Competition and the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition in 2004. In 2005, they won the Young Concert Artists International auditions in New York City, which quickly led to a busy touring schedule. They received the Cleveland Quartet Award from Chamber Music America in 2007, followed by an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2008. In 2012, the Jupiter Quartet members were appointed as artists-in-residence and faculty at the University of Illinois, where they continue to perform regularly in the beautiful Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, maintain private studios, and direct the chamber music program. The critically acclaimed East Coast Chamber Orchestra (ECCO) is a collective of dynamic like-minded artists who convene for select periods each year to explore musical works and perform concerts of the highest artistic quality. Drawing from some of the world's finest orchestras, chamber groups, and young soloists, ECCO strives for vitality and musical integrity; a self-governing organization, each member is equal and has a voice in every step of the artistic process, from programming to performance. Attendees MUST arrive 10 minutes before event begins AT THE LATEST.
