The 2016 Chelsea Music Festival returns for its 7th season to celebrate “Gravity 350” in honor of Newton’s enlightening encounter with a falling apple 350 years ago. From June 10-18, 2016 in New York City, world-leading musicians and exciting newcomers in the performing, culinary and visual arts will gather to create events that give audiences a chance to hear | taste | see. Combining this triptych of art forms has become the signature of the Chelsea Music Festival. There is something for everyone — over two dozen events including evening concerts with music ranging from Classical to Jazz, to Late Night events, daytime Open-Air events and Saturday morning Family Events will take place in a wide range of venues throughout the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. The Festival will present world and New York premieres by composers Michael Gandolfi, Nicolas Namoradze, Edmund Finnis, J.P. Redmond, jazz virtuoso and composer Aaron Diehl, and Grammy-nominated keyboardist Scott Healy with his band.
