Join members of the Camerata Grimani chamber ensemble for a live performance unlike no other!
The oratorio bubbles with excitement.
–Allan Altman, American Record Guide
This performance proclaims that Ester slumbers in darkness no longer.
–Joseph Newsome, Voix des Arts
A musical recovery, that of this forgotten oratorio, shamelessly extroverted and of great communicative relevance.
–Marçal Borotau, Sonograma
In celebration of the critically-praised Navona Records release of the first and only complete recording of Ester, Liberatrice Del Popolo Ebreo ("Esther, Liberator of the Jewish People") by Alessandro Stradella (1639–1682), members of the original cast reunite for a special performance of this 1673 masterwork in honor of the Purim holiday.
Exploring themes of courage, self-acceptance, ambition, justice, and power, Stradella’s Ester tells the story of a timid girl, secret Jew, and Persian Queen who summons the bravery to save her people from annihilation. While the oratorio, a large-scale musical narrative, derives its plot from the biblical story of The Book of Esther, modern audiences will surely find resonance and relevance in the journey of a lone woman who triumphs over tyranny.
Originally intended to be played in a Baroque palace for an aristocratic Catholic audience, this bracingly innovative work composed by a volatile genius was largely lost to time before its recent rediscovery and revival. Join us on Sunday, March 8th at 3pm as Stradella’s Ester resounds again in the Museum at Eldridge Street's magnificently restored 1887 Main Sanctuary.
Musicians:
Ester: Jessica Gould, soprano
Speranza Celeste: Sonia Tedla, soprano
Mardocheo: Kinneret Ely, countertenor
Aman: Gabriele Lombardi, baritone
Assuero: Salvo Vitale, bass

Celebrate Venezuelan courage with leaders and activists discussing freedom, democracy, and the fight against socialism. Join us.
Join us for A Conservative Celebration of Venezuelan Courage, a powerful event honoring the bravery, resilience, and unbreakable spirit of the Venezuelan people in their fight for freedom. Hosted by the Hispanic Caucus of the New York Young Republican Club, this gathering will spotlight the ongoing struggle against socialism, the pursuit of democracy, and the stories of those who refuse to be silenced.
The evening will feature influential voices, journalists, activists, and community leaders who have lived through or closely followed the Venezuelan fight for liberty. Together, we will discuss the humanitarian crisis, the collapse of democratic institutions, the rise of authoritarianism, and how conservative values—faith, family, freedom—play an essential role in Venezuela’s path forward.
This event is not only a celebration—it’s a call to unity. A moment for conservatives across Latin America and the U.S. to stand together, defend freedom, and support Venezuelans at home and abroad.
If you believe in democracy, human rights, and the power of truth, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

There is simply nothing like PolyEsther; just ask any of the 800 guests from last year's sold-out party. This year we are going queerer, kookier, & kinkier. That means we are partnering with House of Yes in Brooklyn to throw the largest and most epic Queer Purim Party for All.
Come through the looking glass and experience two huge dance floors, immersive performances in every corner, and a Purim wonderland where you definitely won't be able to tell the difference between Esther and Mordechai! Craving a Bris Station / Circumcision Salad bar? We got you. How about a Drag Shtreimel Petting Zoo? We got that. Crazy costumes are advised, but there will be makeup and masquerade corners for last minute makeovers. Of course, for anyone too uptight, there will be plenty of poppers.
Purim is the ancient Jewish holiday where getting drunk, high, and silly is the main commandment. This year it falls on a Monday night, which means you might want to already call in late for work on Tuesday. Tuesdays come every week, Purim is once a year. Don't miss out.
