Theater | The Imaginary Invalid: Moliere's Comedy-Ballet Starring Broadway Actor


Argan is ill. But is he? Argan is dying. But aren't we all? Argan wants absolute control. But is that ever achievable? After a series of upside down attempts to snap him out of it, a solution is found. But will it save him? The Imaginary Invalid is the last play that legendary French playwright Moliere wrote and was originally conceived as a Comedy-Ballet where theater, dance, and music are intertwined. It explores the fear of disease and the exploitation it breeds through infinitely humorous dialogue and in-your-face satire. This production will feature original choreography by FlexN dancer Cal Hunt, original music by cellist Johnathan Moore, and stars Tony and Olivier Award nominee Sahr Ngaujah. Director and Translator: Lucie Tiberghien Choreographer and Dancer: Cal Hunt Composer and Cellist: Johnathan Moore Cast: Dante Bonner, Mary Bacon, Rory Furey-King, Doron JePaul, Naomi Lorrain, Sahr Ngaujah, Shayvawn Webster

Concert | NY Philharmonic Musicians Celebrate AAPI Heritage Month 


The Musicians of the New York Philharmonic host a special afternoon of music in celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. This concert is part of their ongoing commitment to fostering community, inclusivity, and representation in the performing arts while amplifying the missions of partner organizations. This event highlights the work of Committee of 100, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the participation and representation of Chinese Americans in all areas of American life. Centered around the themes of home and belonging, this concert brings powerful storytelling through music to communities beyond Lincoln Center — and invites audiences to connect through shared experiences and new perspectives. Nearly one-third of the Philharmonic’s musicians are of Asian descent. This performance honors their cultural heritage and artistic voices, highlighting music by composers and performers from across the AAPI diaspora. The works featured in the program were chosen for the personal significance they hold for the performers.  This celebration is a tribute to identity, heritage, and the power of music to bring people home. Featured musicians include: Hannah Choi, violin; Alina Kobialka, violin; Anna Rabinova, violin; Leah Ferguson, viola; Cong Wu, viola; Claire Kim, cello; Qiang Tu, cello; and Sumire Kudo, cello. Program Zhou Long (1953-) Eight Chinese Folk Songs Toshiro Mayuzumi (1929-1997) Bunraku for solo cello Chen Yi (1953-) Memory: For Solo Violin Antonin Dvořák (1841-1904)  String Quartet No. 12, Op. 96 “American”
