YM&YWHA of Washington Heights/ Inwood: Uptown Arts & Culture Pop-Up Series – Rock the Heights!

Celebrate community with live music, art, mini guitar-making, seasonal snacks, and festive fun for all ages!  Guitar Guitar Guitars! Rock on!

Design Your Dream Guitar / Led by Gal Cohen: A hands-on art workshop where you’ll use colorful craft materials to create a mini guitar that’s uniquely yours!

Live Music: Kaki King & Tamar Eisenman

Present: SEI (Italian for “six” and also “you are”) features 16 guitars, transforming the stage and forming a constellation of sound. The heart of SEI is music composed through choreographed movement; each note in SEI born from physical motion, creating… a rich, embodied musical language that blurs the line between composition and dance. The Music in SEI travels between different reflections of our day to day life; “You are” coming to life over and over again, whether it’s through Love, Hate, Parenthood, Creativity, and/or Compassion. With only guitars, tailored tuning and synced movement by the players, SEI is a deep and playful dialogue of guitars, weaved through body language and masterful guitar skills.

Snacks for Hanukka and community candle lighting!

See you there! This event is all ages!
