The Village Trip kicks off its seventh year on September 19, aiming to break through the cloud of uncertainty that hovers over our city and nation with 10 days of music, talks, tours, art, comedy and fun. The festival celebrates culture and community in Greenwich Village and the East Village/Lower East Side.
Some key events include the "Bernstein Remix!," a lineup of performers organized by Jamie Bernstein made to rethink and re-interpret her father's music and words. There's also the "Village Voices" with baritone James Martin and pianist Lynn Raley performing the world premieres of work by David Amram, Carman Moore and Maria Thompson Corley. Be sure to catch "It's Complicated: New York's 400-year Relationship with its Waterfront," a panel discussion with critic Michael Kimmelman, Dutch architect Matthijs Bouw, Hudson River Park Trust president Noreen Doyle and oyster entrepreneur Moody Harney.
