Historic: Gathering for Gil Scott-Heron, Symphony Space, NYC

Round 1 of PARDON OUR ANALYSIS – Black Rock Coalition Orchestra Gathers for Gil Scott-Heron was produced in cooperation with the Estate of Gil Scott-Heron with support from Poets and Writers and Grove Press.

 

 

THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH for helping us produce our first large-scale orchestra event independent of venue support. The show was moving, spirited, and full of those moments that remind us of how talented our artist community really is. Pictures, video, and Kickstarter premiums should start making their way to you any day now. Thanks again and keep checking here for further developments.

    hey there.

    sorry, i thought i’d sent a reply earlier. my apologies! it’s actually for one ticket. however, if you just want the tickets (without the swag), prices range from $25-$45 on the symphony space website.

    thanks for asking and if you happen to see me at the show, please stop me and say ‘hi.’

    best,
    laronda
