On June 29, PROTESTRA will hold Music in Action: A Concert for Aid, a benefit concert to support organizations providing emergency relief to those affected in Gaza. We hope that through the power of art and collective music-making, we can come together as a community and recognize our shared humanity.

We hope you’ll join us in collaboration with The Brooklyn Nomads on June 29. PROTESTRA will donate all ticket proceeds directly to The Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) and Anera (American Near East Refugee Aid), two 501(c)(3) charities working tirelessly to provide displaced civilians with crucial food and medical aid. Leading up to the concert, you can also join us in making a greater impact by donating to and/or sharing our crowdfunding campaign for these important organizations.

Fort Greene Orchestra returns with a fun new concert to ring in the summer, featuring Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony.

Summer is nearly here—and whether that means hiking or hitting the beach—no piece captures the feeling of freedom quite like Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony. The inscription before the first movement, "Awakening of cheerful feelings on arrival in the countryside," paints a vivid palette of emotions embedded in this piece. Rivers, rustic dances, bird calls, storms, and even the quiet after the rain—all are woven into this masterpiece.

We’ve paired this symphonic journey with two other joyful compositions: Mozart’s Figaro Overture and Bartok’s Romanian Dances for violin solo and orchestra, showcasing our concertmaster Doori Na’s dazzling virtuosity.

Following the success of our Titan Symphony production, our lighting designer, Christopher Gilmore, returns to enhance the evening with a new, musically scored light design.

“Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A Beautiful Noise is the uplifting true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chartbusting, show-stopping American rock icon. With 120 million albums sold, a catalogue of classics like “America,” “Forever in Blue Jeans,” and “Sweet Caroline,” an induction into the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and sold-out concerts around the world that made him bigger than Elvis, Neil Diamond’s story was made to shine on Broadway, where the biggest stars tell their story.

Like Jersey Boys and The Carole King Musical before it, A Beautiful Noise The Neil Diamond Musical is an inspiring, exhilarating, energy-filled musical memoir, that tells the untold true story of how America’s greatest hitmaker became a star, set to the songs that defined his career.”
