Time for Three

GRAMMY and Emmy-winning ensemble Time For Three returns to PAC NYC. 
Following their sold-out Circle Songs concert last season, Time For Three bring their charismatic and energetic performance style back to PAC NYC for another extraordinary evening. Bonded by an uncommon blend of instruments and vocals, Charles Yang (violin), Nick Kendall (violin), and Ranaan Meyer (double bass), defy conventions with genre-bending excellence, pushing creative boundaries and leaving audiences worldwide captivated. To experience Time For Three live is to hear the various eras, styles, and traditions of Western music fold in on themselves and emerge anew. 
 

Queen Bitch: John Cameron Mitchell Sings Bowie

Tony Award-winning star of stage and screen, John Cameron Mitchell, brings the glitz, glam, and grit of David Bowie to PAC NYC. One of alt-culture’s boldest creators, John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Shortbus, How to Talk to Girls at Parties), celebrates Bowie’s iconic career in a one-of-a-kind evening of songs and stories spanning the glam rocker’s oeuvre.  This euphoric tribute to all things Bowie features international cabaret star Amber Martin with house band led by the Tony and GRAMMY nominated music director of Broadway’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Stereophonic, Justin Craig, plus very special guests.  Grab a ticket, put on your red shoes, and Let’s Dance!
 

Tanya Tagaq

One of the avant-garde’s most dynamic performers, Tanya Tagaq brings her electrifying artistry to PAC NYC for one night only. Praised by The New York Times as “fiercely charismatic,” internationally acclaimed artist Tanya Tagaq breaks through boundaries with her genre-defying performances. Hailing from Ikaluktutiak (Cambridge Bay) Nunavut, Tagaq stands as a true original disruptor in today’s music scene with a fierce commitment to addressing seismic social, political, and environmental issues. Her singular sound blends throat singing with whispers, punk, metal, and electronica to create a musical experience like no other.  Don’t miss this chance to witness JUNO Award winner, Polaris Music Prize recipient, and Order of Canada honoree, Tanya Tagaq, with Jean Martin on percussion and Jeffrey Zeigler on cello live at PAC NYC.

Critically acclaimed composer and performer, Samora Pinderhughes, takes the PAC NYC stage for an evening filled with elegy and transformative beauty. Experience Pindherughes’ stirring melodies and powerful storytelling as he performs selections from his latest album, Venus Smiles Not in the House of Tears. Made over eight years with loving detail and written entirely by Pinderhughes and his longtime producer Jack DeBoe, this deeply personal album delves into the complexities of mental health and explores the profound question: How can love exist when grief is in the way? 
 

Britton & the Sting, Re:member
