Join Voices of Ascension for an extraordinary evening as we honor two bold and visionary figures shaping the future of culture:

Alexandra Munroe – internationally acclaimed scholar and curator (Senior Curator at Large, Global Arts, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation; and Chair, Aspen Music Festival and School).

Step into timeless elegance for a gala filled with luminous music, inspired conversation, fine dining, and joyful celebration. Gather with fellow music lovers, artists, and friends to support one of New York City’s premier choral institutions.

This is our signature event of the season—and an evening you won’t want to miss.
