Late on a summer night, in a field on their Kentucky farm, a long-married couple, George (Birney) and Em (Emery), have come to watch a lunar eclipse. As the seven stages of the celestial phenomenon unfold, the two sip bourbon and reflect on land and legacy, children and dogs. But as more and more is revealed, they realize they are as much a mystery to each other as the heavens above. LUNAR ECLIPSE is the funny, moving, universal story of a couple reckoning with the time they’ve spent on earth and the time they have left.
The Irene Diamond Stage at the Pershing Signature Center (480 W. 42nd St.)

Wednesday, May 7, 2025, 7:30 pm at Alice Tully Hall
Thomas Crawford, conductor
Andrew Schwartz, bassoon
Petra Somlai, fortepiano
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Bassoon Concerto in B-flat Major
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony No. 35 in D Major, “Haffner”
Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major, Op. 58
The program opens with Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto in B-flat Major, written in 1774 when he was 18 years old. One of the most famous and studied bassoon pieces of all time, it was Mozart’s first concerto for wind instruments, especially prized for emphasizing the instrument’s sweet tenor voice. The soloist is ACO and Handel and Haydn Society Principal Bassoonist Andrew Schwartz, whose career has taken him from the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra to jazz recordings with Wynton Marsalis. The Concerto is followed by Mozart’s Symphony No. 35, also known as the “Haffner.” The work was commissioned by Sigmund Haffner, a wealthy Salzburg merchant and friend of Mozart’s father, Leopold. Haffner asked if Wolfgang could compose a new symphony to be played at the ennoblement of his son. The symphony was completed when Mozart was 26 years old and first performed in 1783 at the Vienna Burgtheater. The evening concludes with Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4, which offers a lyrical conversation between piano and orchestra that demonstrates Beethoven’s power of invention. The work premiered with the composer at the keyboard in 1808 in a four-hour-long program that included the premieres of his Fifth and Sixth Symphonies at Vienna’s Theater an der Wien. The concerto was neglected until it was revived by Felix Mendelssohn in 1836, nine years after Beethoven’s death. The performance features renowned Hungarian fortepianist Petra Somlai, professor at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and first prize-winner at the International Fortepiano Competition in Bruges, Belgium.
Tickets, priced at $75, $55, and $35, are available at aconyc.org; by calling ACO at (212) 362-2727, ext.4; at lincolncenter.org or the Alice Tully Hall box office; or by calling CenterCharge at 212.721.6500.

Tickets are $30 for general admission and $20 for students/ seniors. Saturday Performance will be followed by a Gala Reception. Tickets to the Saturday Gala & Performance are $105.

Awaken will weave original material with resonant choreography from Selwyn’s 25 years of rich repertory. The piece will explore the struggle between distraction, a quest for certainty, and living in an embodied present. Selwyn’s athletic choreography will dramatize the complexities of staying grounded, connected, and present in a modern world of endless distraction, consumerism, and convenience. Shifting sections of the work will zero in on our relationship with ambiguity, control, trust, overthinking, vulnerability, and resilience. Awaken will unpack Selwyn’s 25 years of choreographic work to create a compelling evening of dance.
Awaken will feature Selwyn’s company of 15 dancers and include live original music by Jojo Soul, Sound Design by Joel Wilhelmi, Scenic Design by Rob Dutiel, Lighting Design by Dan Ozminkowski, Costume Design by Anna-Alisa Belous, and Stage Management by Gina Solebello.

About the Jane’s Walk Tour Guide
Naima Rauam is an artist who has followed her passion for place throughout her career. In the mid-1960s, an art school assignment led her to the Fulton Fish Market, the South Street Seaport Historic District, and the New York City waterfront. Inspired by the vitality, culture, and history she encountered, Naima has documented life in these areas with her artwork ever since, with her watercolors, oils and charcoals. Her studio was in the original 1907 Tin Building when it was part of the Fulton Fish Market on South Street until 2005. In 1999, the South Street Seaport Museum hosted While the City Sleeps, an exhibit of Naima’s fish market artwork. artpm.com
