Music of the Americas

Music of the Americas Americas Society | 680 Park Avenue (at 68th Street), New York, NY | as-coa.org/music

The MetLife Foundation Music of the Americas Concert Series, recipient of the 2014 CMA/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, fulfills an essential part of the cultural mission of Americas Society, annually showcasing dozens of talented artists hailing from across the hemisphere. Presented year-round, the concerts include a wealth of diverse music and performers, ranging from contemporary classi

cal to folk-roots to reggae and jazz. The primary venue for the series is Americas Society’s own Salon Simón Bolivar, an expansive room in the organization’s neo-federal-style headquarters with wide windows, a 15-foot ceiling, and silk fabric walls. Music of the Americas has collaborated with other presenters, including Lincoln Center Out of Doors and the National Museum of the American Indian, and has also presented artists at such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall’s Weill Hall and the Leonard Nimoy Thalia at Symphony Space. Music of the Americas seeks to further Americas Society’s mission by engaging artists and concertgoers alike in meaningful dialogue through a shared love of excellent music. The series aims to present artists that are both superb musicians in their own right and cultural ambassadors of myriad social and musical traditions, creating a vibrant space and a unique opportunity to hear distinctive and significant music.

▶️ Presenting: the full concert video of Jonathon Adams's performance at Americas Society earlier this year! 🎵

🌳 In February, the GEMAS series, co-presented with Gotham Early Music Scene and curated by Nell Snaidas and Sebastian Zubieta, featured the Cree-Métis baritone Jonathon Adams, along with Sarah Cunningham and Avi Stein, for a concert of baroque music by Henry Purcell and contemporaries that focused on the land and water, including “‘Tis Nature’s Voice” and “O Solitude.”

🥰 Our deepest thanks to our funders whose support made this performance possible: MetLife Foundation, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Howard Gilman Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts, Fan Fox & Leslie R Samuels Foundation.
