Live at Lincoln Center: Vanishing City

Jeremiah Moss’ book, Vanishing New York inspired this live
program featuring the music of New York City composers who were
an important staple of the ’70’s and ’80’s scene but were taken
too soon. We’re honoring Julius Eastman, Arthur Russell, Ben
Weber, and Tui St. German Tucker by representing their works and
stories.


This program took place at the Lincoln Center Atrium and also
featured a pre-concert panel presentation with Jeremiah Moss,
Open House New York director Gregory Wessner, author of Country
of Cities Vishaan Chakrabarti and composer Frank J. Oteri.
