Spring Gala

Step out for the evening and into the spectacular gardens of Wave Hill! Move to the beat of jazz pianist and Latin Grammy-nominated César Orozco. Experience outdoor, contemporary dance with a performance “rich in detail, complexity and virtuosity” by Pigeonwing Dance. Then enjoy dinner in historic Wave Hill House, featuring a site-specific installation of vivid, cut-paper (papel picado) banners by Winter Workspace Artist-in-Residence Blanka Amezkua.

The Gala also marks the premiere of Wave Hill’s new exhibitions in Glyndor Gallery. Water Scarcity: Perpetual Thirst explores the impact of water scarcity on people’s physical, spiritual and social well-being, and two new solo, site-specific installations are by artists Anina Major and Kevin Quiler.

The Spring Gala celebrates the return of Wave Hill’s outdoor dance performances and summer concerts at sunset. We are especially excited to partner with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater for a not-to-be-missed performance by Ailey II in June.
