Danny Burstein to Host CELEBRATING SONDHEIM: SONGS FROM A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC at Symphony Space

Symphony Space (Executive Director: Kathy Landau), the NYC cultural institution that produces unforgettable one-night-only events, presents a quintessentially Symphony Space concert, Celebrating Sondheim: Songs from A Little Night Music, on Monday, April 25. Hosted by 2020 Tony Award winner and seven-time Tony nominee Danny Burstein, the event raises funds for Symphony Space's year-round, multi-disciplinary programming and education programs.

Celebrating Sondheim is music-directed by Paul Staroba and produced and directed by Joel Fram and Annette Jolles. It features a star-studded lineup of singer-actors, including Tony nominee Kate Baldwin, Tony nominee Carolee Carmello, Daniel T. Curran, Tony winner Ben Davis, Jason Gotay, Leah Horowitz, Andrea Jones-Sojola, Tony winner Judy Kaye, Emilie Kouatchou, Christiani Pitts, Lindsay Roberts, Ryan Silverman, and Nicholas Ward.

Symphony Space is a favorite spot for Broadway performers and audiences, who convene for programs including the pioneering literature-in-performance series Selected Shorts, for which hundreds of actors have read short fiction live-on-stage at Symphony Space's Peter Jay Sharp Theatre; Project Broadway, a series that brings the best of Broadway to the intimate stages of Symphony Space with established and rising stars of musical theater; and Wall to Wall, an annual all-day free marathon celebrating a specific artist or genre. Many leading theater actors-including Celebrating Sondheim performers Kate Baldwin, Carolee Carmello, and Judy Kaye-participated in Wall to Wall Stephen Sondheim, with Sondheim himself, in 2005, in celebration of Sondheim's 75th birthday.

Like the rest of the 2021-22 season, Celebrating Sondheim will be presented to in-person audiences at Symphony Space's Peter Jay Sharp Theatre and live-streamed worldwide. In anticipation of reopening its doors again this past fall, Symphony Space built upon its commitment to accessibility and invested in state-of-the-art, multi-camera video streaming systems for its theaters, allowing for broadcast in 4K resolution, with a remarkably crisp audio mix.

In-person concert-only tickets start at $75, which is also the price to live-stream the event. For Gala packages, including access to a pre-show reception as well as VIP seating, single tickets start at $1,000. All of these can be purchased here.
