Craig Urquhart in Concert: A Benefit for 350NYC at New York Society for Ethical Culture (Site)
Wednesday May 22, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
$25Craig Urquhart in Concert – A Benefit for 350NYC
Join this evening with the composer/pianist Craig Urquhart, whose music has drawn critical acclaim from across the globe. The concert is a benefit for 350NYC, an organization which has been working for solutions to our climate crisis for more than a decade.
Urquhart has performed on international stages — from New York, Paris and Belgium, to Berlin, Rome and Japan — moving audiences with his warm, poetic style. Deriving musical inspiration from nature, human emotions, and the natural rhythms of the universe, he has released thirteen albums of solo piano music including, most recently, “Renewal”.
“[Renewal] is a profound and deeply heartfelt gift from one soul to another”
MAINLY PIANO, March 2023
“[Urquhart’s] music has a deceptive simplicity and honesty that is rarely to be heard… genuinely moving, with a private beauty of its own.” Leonard Bernstein
The night will also include short readings by poet/environmentalists E.J. McAdams and Evelyn Reilly. McAdams is the Chief Development Officer for BirdLife International and the author of Last. Reilly is the author most recently of Having Broken, Are.
Hosted by 350NYC and the New York Society for Ethical Culture.
