About This Event
Founded in 1962 by Leopold Stokowski, the New York–based American Symphony Orchestra appears at city stages and presents a program at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts, with Leon Botstein serving as music director and principal conductor. The ensemble emphasizes lowering barriers to orchestral music through clear contextual programming and affordable access, and its collaborations—from Ani DiFranco and Tony Trischka to Waterwell and Annabelle Gurwitch—favor curiosity over spectacle.
About New York Resounds
New York Resounds is presented live at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts, with the American Symphony Orchestra among the featured performers. The program frames New York City not as backdrop but as subject, using orchestral sound to trace civic memory, migration, and the changing texture of public life. In a city where premieres often mark shifting cultural tides, works like this register how institutions and audiences listen to themselves over time. Its most telling quality is its restraint, letting accumulation and contrast do the work.
