The Cutting Room

Keyboardist BOB MALONE&nbsp;brings his Band and the Malonettes back to New York City's iconic venue The&nbsp;Cutting Room on Sept. 10th. One of the most sought after rock and blues pianists in the world, Malone is known for&nbsp; his&nbsp;high-energy, hook-laden hybrids of rock, blues, melodic piano pop, and New Orleans R&amp;B and jazz.&nbsp;Tickets are $20 in advance; $25 at the door. Doors open at 8:30pm. For Tickets visit&nbsp;<a href="https://wl.seetickets.us/event/bob-malone/604462?afflky=TheCuttingRoom" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://wl.seetickets.us/event...</a>
Expect to hear&nbsp;tunes from Malone’s latest album “Good People” plus his signature take on classics from The Band, CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival), Bob Dylan and others that he transforms into foot-stomping displays of keyboard pyrotechnics. 
The Bob Malone Band includes New York’s finest A-List session musicians: Rich Zukor (drums), Ritt Henn (bass) and Anthony Babino (guitar), Beth Falcone (keys). 
The Malonettes (gospel-powered backing vocalists): Karen Nash, LaDonna Burns and Beth Falcone.
Called a “keyboard wizard” by The New Yorker, singer/songwriter/pianist BOB MALONE has amassed a loyal international fan-base through twenty-five years of touring and nine critically acclaimed album releases. He played keyboards for John Fogerty for 12 years, and has been a session player for Ringo Starr and Avril Lavigne. His recording of “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” was the theme in the 2018 Illumination/Universal movie trailers for The Grinch.

WHITE WAVE DANCE announces Call for Choreographers for 2025 SoloDuo Dance Festival

Today, the board of New York City Opera announces the appointment of Constantine Orbelian as the organization's new Executive Director &amp; Music Director, succeeding General Director Michael Capasso.

“We look forward to this new chapter in New York City Opera’s story,” said Roy G. Niederhoffer, Chairman Emeritus of the Board. “We are grateful to Michael for his time with NYCO, working tirelessly to bring back the company and programming for New York City audiences to enjoy. We are so pleased to have Constantine’s roles expand as the new leader of City Opera – the future looks bright!”

"I am honored and excited to take on the role of Executive Director in addition to my current role as Music Director and Principal Conductor of the New York City Opera, a company with such a rich legacy and profound history in the world of music,” said Constantine Orbelian. “This opportunity allows me to blend my passion for artistic excellence with mindful and positive stewardship, ensuring that the cherished traditions of this great institution continue to thrive. Together with this wonderful community, we will embark on a journey that honors the past while boldly shaping the future of this iconic opera company.”

New York City Opera's 2024-25 season is poised to captivate and inspire with dynamic repertoire that celebrates resilience, history, and community, beginning with a monumental Carnegie Hall concert, Music of Survival,featuring works by Mieczysław Weinberg and Erich Korngold – music born from the crucible of adversity. The season also features the long-awaited revival of William Grant Still's Troubled Island, presented 75 years after its 1949 premiere at City Opera. The company’s commitment to education shines through expanded outreach programs, bringing opera to new generations of K-12 students. The enchanting and wildly popular Bryant Park summer performances will continue to delight thousands of New Yorkers, culminating in a masterful presentation of Mascagni's rarely performed Isabeau, an exciting co-production with Opera Holland Park that explores themes of love, honor, and sacrifice.

Kate Oh Gallery is pleased to announce Impermanent Bubbles, the first solo show of Pema Rinzin at the gallery.
 Bubbles painted with natural dyes and hand-ground mineral pigments fill up Rinzin&rsquo;s canvases, wood panels, and paper works. The foamy fields are at once planar and dimensional: micro and macro; claustrophobic swarms and vast expanses.
 Rinzin chose the bubble because it cannot be held. It appears shimmering before you for only a moment before it pops. Rinzin understands the main teaching of Tibetan Buddhism to be impermanence. For him, there is much to be learned from contemplating something so small and transient.
 The bubble is not a new shape for Rinzin. In fact, he has been encircling color since he trained to become a master in Tibetan thangka painting. In every Tibetan thangka, there is an offering presented which represents a gem. Either yellow, blue, green, or red, it is a physical offering to the gods. But its abstract rendering reminds us that even if you have nothing material to give, there is always something to offer: a water droplet, an idea, a prayer.
 Rinzin&rsquo;s past bodies of work have been more figurative. For Impermanent Bubble, he was looking for a process of repetition that paralleled the chanting of a Mantra. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t wear out a mantra,&rdquo; says Rinzin. &ldquo;You can do a mantra through all your life into your next life. Collecting one million; two million; three million.&rdquo; He admits boredom can creep in during the time-consuming repetition of the painting process. But this, too, is an important part of the practice. Cycling through becoming numb, he will once again emerge into the awareness and the sweetness of his efforts.
 As Rinzin developed these paintings, he noticed that the bubbles took on particular characteristics. For instance, certain color combinations caused fields of bubbles to form landscapes. Others suggested the cosmos. Still others, which he calls dropping bubbles, became worlds within world, nested and playing with scale. 
Pema Rinzin (b. 1966) was born in Tibet and grew up in Dharamsala, India. The artist is quite accomplished, enjoying the title of the first Tibetan artist in residence at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York and having exhibited in the Rubin Museum&rsquo;s 2010 group exhibition (the first of any New York museum to exhibit contemporary Tibetan artists), Tradition Transformed.
