Castle Village: Cello Stories: A Life Under Broadway

We’re thrilled to be hosting the extraordinary cellist @mairidp in a presentation of her one-woman show, which intersperses performances with descriptions of her extraordinary life as a veteran of 23 Broadway shows.

Mairi Dorman-Phaneuf has established a busy career in New York City as a solo, chamber, Broadway, and recording artist. Since 2003 she has held chairs in twenty-three Broadway shows, including The Bridges of Madison County, A Little Night Music, Sunday in the Park with George, and Parade. Off-Broadway credits include the premiere productions of Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years (Chicago 2001, NYC 2002). Her debut solo album “Music of Broadway for Cello and Piano,” released in September 2021 on Craft Recordings/Concord Theatricals, has been described as “sublime” by BroadwayWorld. Following her sold-out debut at Birdland Jazz Club in 2018 she continues to present headlining shows featuring Broadway’s greatest stars. Cello Stories: A Life Under Broadway premiered at the Perelman Performing Arts Center in 2023.

United Palace: The Muse – The Artistic Spirit Uptown (Rescheduled from Feb. 23)

Rescheduled from Feb. 23

Join us in a joyful, reflective conversation at the crossroads of creativity, spirituality, and uptown culture. Moderated by Joel Kady, this gathering brings together uptown arts leaders Andrea Arroyo, Led Black (Uptown Collective), Mike Fitelson (United Palace), and Niria E. Leyva-Gutiérrez (NoMAA) to share their artistic practices, personal perspectives, and what it means to create community with purpose. Come listen, reflect, and dream alongside fellow creatives as we root ourselves in uptown’s vibrant artistic spirit.

The Muse is a monthly program dedicated to celebrating inspiration, the arts, and community. It brings together open-minded artists and art lovers to explore the many ways inspiration, or The Muse, elevates our daily lives. Through shared human experiences, creative expression, and a deep love for the arts, we reflect on life’s biggest questions, uncovering new meaning in the world around us.

Doors open at 6:30pm. The Muse begins at 7:00pm.
