The Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) announced civic alliances in advance of opening later this month, as part of its mission to enrich the lives of New Yorkers through the arts. Executive Director Khady Kamara and Artistic Director Bill Rauch made the announcement as the group prepares to open the performing arts center at the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan.

PAC NYC is partnering with a number of organizations to further their commitment to collaborating and building alliances with the community. They have established anchor alliances with the Borough of Manhattan Community College, Center for Independence of the Disabled, New York, Interfaith Center of New York City, and The New York Immigration Coalition. In addition, PAC NYC has formed a foundational alliance with the Lenape Center.
The anchor alliances are relationships across multiple years with organizations that share a commitment to involving constituents in both PAC NYC and the allied group’s programs. Project-based alliances will spark dialogue and create programming around specific PAC NYC events, performances, and productions, and will allow both groups to reach new communities. Through these alliances, PAC NYC will collaborate closely with organizations with deep experience serving the city of New York across a variety of areas.
Building a performing arts center in this location was a promise to all of New York City. From the day we began working on the artistic programming, we also began developing relationships and creating dialogue around our events and performances. These partnerships will invite and include our neighbors from all five boroughs, connect people across differences, and help us discover how art can continue to inspire and heal.
Bill Rauch, PAC NYC Artistic Director
In addition, PAC NYC has announced a new exhibit in collaboration with new foundational alliance partner The Lenape Center. The exhibit is titled “Kishux,” and features a curated presentation of 12 large format photographs by Devin Pickering.

“Kishux” shows photographs from over a period of five months, from all times of day, telling the story of the ancestral seeds return home to Lenapehoking, the Lenape name for their homeland. The Lenape people have historically inhabited a region across the eastern US, spanning much of what is now known as New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, New York’s Hudson Valley and the NYC metropolitan area. The exhibit at PAC NYC will run from September 23 through October 9, and is free for all.
PAC NYC tickets and memberships are available now at PACNYC.org or by phone at 212.266.3000. Tickets begin at $39 and memberships start at $10. For more information or to learn how to support PAC NYC, visit PACNYC.org.

The Al Hirschfeld Foundation has announced a new partnership with NYC’s City Winery, with a special live event and exhibition on September 18 titled “Hirschfeld’s Music.”
David Leopold, Creative Director of The Al Hirschfeld Foundation, will launch the celebratory event with a live multimedia presentation. Leopold will take attendees on a virtual tour through decades of musical history as seen by Hirschfeld. The presentation will touch on Hirschfeld’s friendships with Duke Ellington, Aerosmith, and Benny Goodman.
For the first time, nine decades of Hirschfeld’s work will be on display at the event featuring rarely-seen images, as well as old favorites. Artwork on display in the exhibition will be available for purchase here. Proceeds supports the Hirschfeld Arts Curriculum program.
We are delighted to be working with City Winery to share Al Hirschfeld’s love of music. Hirschfeld was a serious hot jazz fan in his youth, and he never lost his passion for music throughout his whole life. One of his first jobs was as a song plugger on the night boat to Albany. He drew so many album covers over the years that some used record shops simply have Hirschfeld cover sections. You don’t get many people who can say that they help Django Reinhardt get his first recording date and also find themselves in the studio with Aerosmith. Hirschfeld’s strong connection to music has never been explored…until now.
David Leopold, Creative Director of the Al Hirschfeld Foundation
Following the live event, City Winery Gallery will open a new, free exhibit of Hirschfeld’s vast collection of music art. The pieces depict some of the most iconic musicians of the 20th century, including Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead, The Beatles, and more.
In addition, “Hirschfeld’s Music” will extend the celebration will the debut of 12 collectable wine bottles, labeled with Hirschfeld portraits of legendary musicians. The collectables will be available exclusively at City Winery beginning in September. Featured artists include Mick Jagger, The Grateful Dead, Aerosmith, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, and more.
To purchase tickets for the presentation on September 18 at 7:30pm, visit citywinery.com/newyork.
Tommy Stinson’s Cowboys in the Campfire released a video for their new track “Here We Go Again,” alongside an upcoming Eastern US tour this September. The group will make a stop at New York City’s Bowery Electric on Sept. 9, and will continue with stops across Washington, DC, Winston-Salem, NC, and more.
“Here We Go Again” is the first track off Cowboys in the Campfire’s debut record, WRONGER. As a founding member of The Replacements, Tommy Stinson and his close friend Chip Roberts combined their talents to form the group alongside touring member Chops LaConte this year. “Here We Go Again” features Stinson on the ukulele, with the quirky video showing clips of tour life, Stinson getting a haircut, and the group across chicken coops and living rooms.
In a previous interview with NYS Music, Tommy Stinson discussed his love of performing, saying, “I gotta play for the peoples a little bit because it’s what keeps me alive.” Keeping Cowboys in the Campfire on the road is the group’s current priority, as they embark on their tour this September.
Tommy Stinson’s Cowboys in the Campfire is Tommy Stinson and Chip Roberts, with live accompaniments by Chops LaConte.
More information and tickets for the upcoming tour are available here.
Three-time Tony Award winner LaChanze announced a solo performance on Oct. 1 for the inaugural season of the Perelman Performing Arts Center, or PAC, titled ‘An Evening with LaChanze.’
An Evening with LaChanze was co-written by LaChanze and Daniel “Koa” Beaty, directed by Jerry Dixon, and includes musical direction by Marco Paguia.
The evening is the first of PAC NYC’s Downtown Sessions series, which seeks to expand the facility’s music program with performances by Tony-winning artists. PAC is one of Manhattan’s newest performing arts spaces, opening this fall in the Financial District’s World Trade Center.

An Evening with LaChanze will feature original music by Crystal Monee Hall, American Standards, and Broadway favorites.
We’ve designed an inspiring evening of music and moments, filling this beautiful new space in lower Manhattan with love, light, and laughter.
LaChanze
PAC NYC’s Downtown Sessions will extend throughout the fall, including other performances by Brian Stokes Mitchell and Ben Platt. The series seeks to bring audiences closer to beloved artists in intimate performances.
LaChanze, as founder and current president of Black Theatre United, will also perform at BTU’s inaugural gala on October 30 at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City. Supported by Business for Good, the gala’s theme will be “A Salute to Broadway Legends: Past, Present, and Future,” and will highlight legends such as Common, Billy Porter, and Samuel L. Jackson.
This Saturday, Sept. 9, Beastie Boys Square will officially be unveiled at the corner of Ludlow and Rivington Streets in Manhattan after the New York City Council approved the renaming.
The ceremony, taking place from 12-2 p.m. will feature appearances from Michael “Mike D” Diamond and Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz, including a DJ set by Jon Bless HiFi System.
The Beastie Boys were an American rap group from New York City, formed in 1981. The group was composed of Michael “Mike D” Diamond, Adam “MCA” Yauch, and Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz. Beastie Boys has sold 20 million records in the United States and had seven platinum-selling albums from 1986 to 2004. They are the biggest-selling rap group since Billboard began recording sales in 1991.

The historic corner was once home to Paul’s Boutique—the namesake of the Beastie Boys’ sophomore LP, released in 1989. Cultural advocate LeRoy McCartney spearheaded the campaign, fighting for a decade. He also did similar landmark-naming campaigns, like the Wu-Tang Clan (Wu-Tang District in Staten Island) and The Notorious B.I.G. (Brooklyn’s Christopher Wallace Way), and credits Council Member Chris Marte with helping to push the renaming.
Last summer Marte gave credit to the group themselves for paving the way in the genre of hip-hop and thanked the local residents, businesses, politicians, and more who supported the fight for the street name. “I see it as a celebration. A celebration for the Lower East Side, a celebration for hip-hop, and especially a celebration for our community who has been organizing for a really long time to make this happen,” Marte also said.

The unveiling of Beastie Boys Square coincides with the ongoing celebration of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary, which includes the first-ever theatrical screening of Spike Jonze’s Beastie Boys Story, taking place at IFC Center on September 8 and 9.
Fall Out Boy has announced the second leg of their “So Much For (Tour) Dust,” now named “So Much For (2our) Dust,” with rockers Jimmy Eat World, coming to MSG and the MVP Arena in March 2024.
Fall Out Boy is one of the biggest-selling rock bands. The group is comprised of vocalist Patrick Stump, bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz, drummer Andy Hurley, and guitarist Joe Trohman, who after taking a short hiatus from the group, is back full-time.
Formed in Chicago in 2001, the group has released several albums over the years that have become a staple in the emo community. Their seventh studio album MANIA debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 in January 2018 and garnered a GRAMMY nomination for Best Rock Album. Other records that have done well on Billboard charts include 2015’s AMERICAN BEAUTY/AMERICAN PSYCHO and 2013’s Save Rock and Roll, whose song “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)” went multi-platinum.

Their first U.S. run over the summer celebrating the release of their newest record So Much (for) Stardust, proved to be a success, coming to places like Darien Lake and Forest Hills. Much like the Taylor Swift Eras Tour, which featured surprise songs every night, FOB did their own rendition, adding the Magic 8 Ball to their set. The ball would pick a song the band would play that night, and many of them hadn’t been played in over a decade, or never played live before.
fans were eager to see what came from the group next. After fans spotted the group dropping merch with “So Much For (2our) Dust,” on it a few weeks ago, the tour announcement didn’t come as much of a surprise, however, the addition of rock band Jimmy Eat World was unprecedented, yet equally as exciting.
Jimmy Eat World has just come off of a joint tour with Manchester Orchestra, and they released the single “Place Your Debts” in 2022. Also joining FOB on this momentous tour are rock bands The Maine, Hot Mulligan, Daisy Grenade, Games We Play (who was also an opener on the first leg), and Carr.
The group will stop at Madison Square Garden on March 22, and surprisingly at MVP Arena in Albany on March 24. Those lucky enough to be in the official Fall Out Boy discord server (which only opens up for seconds at a time for fans to join) will receive a presale code at 9:30 a.m. local on Sept. 13 to purchase tickets. Don’t fret though, you can join the group’s mailing list, receiving a code to purchase tickets at 10 a.m. local on Sept. 13. General sale is on Sept. 15 at 10 a.m. local.
