    Life isn’t normal for anybody right now but Groupmuse is working overtime to continue serving our community — especially our beloved musicians — when you need us the most, doing our best to imbue this new world with the beauty and connection and support that is so lacking in an age of quarantine.

    We’ve brought thousands to the concert hall through our Nights Out program - which constitutes our most important revenue stream - but concert halls have shuttered for the rest of the season. So in our enduring commitment to you all and in the interest of having Groupmuse stand as some semblance of normalcy in deeply abnormal times, tonight we’re taking a first pass at bringing Nights Out online.

    Our wonderful friends at the legendary NYC cultural establishment, the 92nd Street Y have arranged for a top-quality livestream tonight, and they want our community to join. They’re beaming out the titanically great pianist Jonathan Biss, as he shares Ludwig van Beethoven’s last three sonatas, following Biss’ own introduction. These are three of the most profound and poignant and bizarre and masterful works ever written, and Biss breathes such life into them.

    We’ll all gather on Zoom 30 minutes before the performance to connect to one another in breakout groups — to check in, to share, to be witnessed, and to witness - and then we’ll all head to the livestream together.

    After the concert is over, after Beethoven’s spirit has been reawakened, and after our tears have been shed in tribute to such enduring greatness, we’ll gather again, starting with a brief address by Hanna Arie-Gaifman, the director of 92nd Street Y's Tisch Center for the Arts, who will share her thoughts on cultural institutions in a time of social distancing. Then, we’ll get back in breakout groups to share reflections on the music, to be there for one another, and to say goodnight before going our separate ways.

    We’re charging $10 for tickets to the gathering — all of which goes to Groupmuse, which is fighting so hard to keep our cultural community healthy in these times.

    We hope to see you there!
