65th Street Ensemble

This highly talented group of Juilliard School musicians challenge the so-called “concert hall etiquette” as they collaborate to inspire a new perspective around unconventional chamber music. Audiences in attendance of live classical music often appear to be a sea of statues. Classical music can feel inaccessible to people who have not studied it and the convention of a seemingly required stillness and need to almost meditate in order to truly “understand” the music can exacerbate the disconnect. Not everybody interacts with art the same way. These artists encourage the audience to respond in whatever way they feel is appropriate while

You are immediately captivated by this overwhelming ethereal energy and urge to dance like you've never experienced before. These complex, yet memorable arrangements provide the soundscape for
