GatherNYC brings the Toomai String Quintet, an ensemble dedicated to expanding the Latin American chamber music repertoire, to MAD in this family-friendly concert of music from Cuba, Brazil, and Mexico. The program features Cuban composer Keyla Orozco’s The Song of the Cicada (El Canto De La Cigarra, 2024) for narrator and quintet, inspired by Onelio Jorge Cardoso’s vivid children’s story of the same title. Guests at GatherNYC, a revolutionary Sunday morning concert experience, are served exquisite live classical music performed by New York’s immensely talented artists, artisanal coffee and pastries, a taste of spoken word, and a brief celebration of silence.

Doors at 10:30 AM, with complimentary coffee/pastries
