Summer is here and that means that there’s not only the amazing scent of summer blooms in the air, but music too! The Sinfonietta of Riverdale is returning to Armor Hall for a Sunday afternoon concert. Then on Thursday, we’ll host a free sunset performance on the lawn by renowned drag artist Jasmine Rice LaBeija as part of our partnership with Carnegie Hall Citywide. Currently all rain-or-shine tickets are reserved; but if the weather is wonderful as it was last year, there is always room for more to come enjoy the show and picnicking on the Great Lawn.
Our summer concert Sunset Wednesday series returns this July with an exciting line-up:
The Sinfonietta of Riverdale returns to Wave Hill’s Armor Hall for a special program of music by world-renowned composers. Since its founding in 2008 by Artistic Director and Conductor Mark Mandarano, the Sinfonietta of Riverdale has become known as a distinctive ensemble large enough to perform chamber symphonies, while its intimate scale allows each of its world-class musicians to shine as featured soloists. With a repertoire that extends from Bach to the present day, its reputation for fine musicianship and stimulating programming has been deemed “Off-the-hook fabulous” by Time Out New York, and as offering “Some Big Music for Little Riverdale” by The New York Daily News.

“Drag is a grand opera” according to renowned drag artist Jasmine Rice LaBeija—and she should know. A Juilliard-trained tenor with a commanding voice and razor-sharp wit, LaBeija has sold out performances at the Guggenheim Museum’s Works & Process series, Lincoln Center, and queer clubs around the world. In addition to being the International Godmother of the Royal House of LaBeija—recently shouted out in Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul (Queens Remix)”—she has also been a host of Dragged and was the face of New York City’s 2020 Pride celebrations. Don’t miss the chance to experience one of New York’s great entertainers in this free presentation in partnership with Carnegie Hall Citywide.
Let’s explore the colors of the rainbow. We'll use transparent materials to create bright window hangings that will unveil the incredible world of light.
At 11:30AM, families can enjoy a storytime program in the Gund Theater; all ages welcome. We will be celebrating Pride Month by reading of the book, Julian is a Mermaid by Jessica Love.
