Our second concert series, which takes place in the Catacombs of The Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, curated by Andrew Ousley in partnership with Green-Wood. The series takes its name from the distiller’s term for whiskey that evaporates while maturing in the barrel, thus going to the angels. Vogue Magazine described it as “One of the most riveting and unusual chamber music performances of my lifetime.”

“Live opera, staged among the dead...evocative...at Green-Wood, [Ousley] is upping his game.”
Incorporated in 1838, The Green-Wood Cemetery stretches across 478 pastoral acres in Brooklyn and boasts extraordinary works of nineteenth- and twentieth-century sculpture, statuary and architecture. Home to thousands of historic figures, The Green-Wood Cemetery offers tours of its grounds, concerts, book readings and other public events throughout the year. Green-Wood has been designated a National Historic Landmark by the United States Department of the Interior.
"Only darkness and candlelight will envelop visitors as the city’s top opera and chamber music ensembles deliver emotional performances."
