Join the Roosevelt Island Chamber Music Society for an afternoon of beautiful music rooted in the traditions of Palestine, bringing together traditional instruments and contemporary voices.
Featuring Ramzi Aburedwan (bouzouk), Ziad Ben Youssef (oud), Michael Geyre (accordion), and Youssef Hbeisch (percussion), with Yiheng Yang (piano), Marco Jiminez, Bowie Wang (viola), Thomas Zeugner (trombone), and Anoukia Nistor (cello).
… (formerly known as RIVAA Gallery Concerts) was created in January 2024 by Roosevelt Island resident Yiheng Yang, who is on faculty at The Juilliard School of Music, and a leading pianist and historical keyboard player. Yang’s vision in creating these concerts was to share world-class music-making and creative collaboration between top historical performance artists and emerging young professional musicians, bringing the best of classical period performance to Roosevelt Island and New York City.
In the vibrant and inspiring setting of Roosevelt Island’s community art gallery RIVAA, this musical series is the only one of its kind offered to audiences in New York City with a specific emphasis on Classical and Romantic chamber repertoire played on historical instruments.
