Opera Night!
Friday December 20th at 7pm
Nine of stellar Venezuelan soprano Maria Brea’s voice students will sing a variety of opera pieces. This is the fourth time Maria has brought her students to the Shrine, and each time it has been a wonderful evening. By donation, with proceeds to benefit the Shrine.
Competition-winning pianist Maxim Anikushin plays music of Ravel, Tshcikovsky, Beethoven and others in this Christmas concert for all. Suggested donation of $15.
See work by 16 artists and a special exhibition of work by guest artist Soren Glassing in Cornerstone’s Gallery178. There is an Advent Fair and tree sale the same day, downstairs. Hot cider and snacks will be provided and all are welcome. (Did we mention it’s free?)
Photographer and Filmmaker Emon Hassan’s “I Dream of the Heights” is a book of dream-like photographs taken in Washington Heights, Manhattan, accompanied by short poems inspired by the images. https://www.emonhassan.com/idoth
Hosted at OSA, “I Dream of the Heights – Book Signing and Photography Pop-Up” offers a rare chance to connect with the author and immerse yourself in his evocative work inspired by Washington Heights.
Photos from this collection have exhibited at the Inwood Branch of NYPL. Emon is a regular contributor to The New York Times, with photographs published in major publications worldwide.
