Christopher Taylor, piano—Messiaen's Vingt regards sur l’enfant-Jésus
Presented by Concerts & Lectures
Written in Paris in 1944, this collection of short pieces, "contemplations," on the figures present at the birth of Christ reflects the extraordinary times and an outpouring of gratitude by the composer. "Messiaen's mystical music invites out-of-body experiences. ... That was certainly the effect of Christopher Taylor's spellbinding performance of the work. ... He has found a way to make the piano sound as if it could levitate." –Los Angeles Times
This concert is presented in front of the Museum's Christmas Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Crèche in the Medieval Sculpture Hall.
The exhibit of the crèche is made possible by gifts to The Christmas Tree Fund and the Loretta Hines Howard Fund.

Anything can substitute art: George Maciunas in SoHo
Presented by Cooper Union
An exhibition that features
never seen before Maciunas
pieces and illuminates a
pivotal period in New York
City and contemporary art's
recent history
A free event open to the
public
WHAT: Anything can
substitute art: George
Maciunas in SoHo, a singular
exhibition that brings never
seen before Maciunas pieces to
the United States, sheds new
light on a pivotal historic
period for both the city of
New York and contemporary
art's recent history. By
connecting the countercultural
activism of the 1960’s and
1970’s to the moment of
Fluxus, an international
network of artists, composers
and designers noted for
blending different artistic
media and disciplines in the
1960s, the exhibition features
over 170 objects, documents,
ephemera, personal items, and
films. These works were
created by a variety of Fluxus
artists, specifically focusing
on the Fluxus founder and
self-appointed "chairman,"
George Maciunas (1931-1978,
graduated from The Cooper
Union in 1952). The exhibition
will include rarely exhibited
early work by Maciunas, such
as his self-portraits, as well
as the entire Atlas of Russian
History (1953), along with
Fluxus manifestos, charts,
interviews, and Maciunas’
plans for artist housing in
SoHo. Anything can substitute
art: George Maciunas in SoHo
was created in collaboration
with The Jonas Mekas Visual
Arts Center, Vilnius,
Lithuania, and The School of
Art at The Cooper Union.

Chorus of Juilliard singers
Featuring Lacey Jo Benter as Maurya, Emmett O'Hanlon as Bartley, Simone Easthope as Cathleen, Laura Mixter as Nora, and Kara Sainz as A Woman
Juilliard Opera explores the bonds between mothers and sons through the production of two British one-act operas--Benjamin Britten's Curlew River and Ralph Vaughan Williams' Riders to the Sea. Based on Motomasa's Japanese musical drama Sumidagawa and translated to a Christian parable by librettist William Plomer, Curlew River tells the tale of a woman searching for her missing son. Premiered in 1937 and inspired by Irish playwright John Millington Synge's tragedy of the same name, Riders to the Sea examines an elderly woman's fears of losing her remaining sea-faring sons
