Photo Coverage: Inside Project Shaw's Critic Symposium & Concert!

Gingold Theatrical Group, known for its monthly Project Shaw performances, presented two events as part of its first SHAW NEW YORK festival. Held at The Players on June 2nd at 2pm, its Critic Symposium explored the ever-changing world of arts journalism. As Shaw began his career in the arts first as a music, and then, dramatic critic (before becoming a playwright), he maintained that journalists view their work as an art form in itself. The event was moderated by Jeffrey Eric Jenkins of NYU.

That evening at 8pm, also at The Players, GTG hosted its first Shaw Concert featuring musical works that Shaw had championed as 'modern music' of his time: Wagner, Elgar, Brahms and Richard Strauss. The concert was performed by pianist composer, Timothy Andres, who also performed one of his new works. He was joined by mezzo-soprano Rachel Calloway.

This first annual SHAW NEW YORK festival is highlighted by MAN AND SUPERMAN, currently playing at The Irish Repertory Theatre until July 1st. This is a co-production between the two companies, and was adapted and directed by David Staller.
