Also, enjoy a performance by the Thomas Ortiz Dance Company. Christina Giraldi of Show Business Weekly calls the Thomas Ortiz Dance Company  "Ethereal and rejoicing, intriguing, lighthearted, sexually charged, political and thoughtful." The company will present a piece choreographed to Noel Pointer's Mirabella.

And finally, of course, let's not forget the awe-inspiring and melodic sounds of the Noel Pointer Foundation Youth Orchestra which continues to chart an impressive course as young musicians, performing for high-profile events, music icons and political figures throughout New York City. The group will perform works by Brahms, Vaughan Williams and Noel Pointer.fd35a227-b69b-4cd3-be36-e0ecfbae48f7
