The 92nd Street Y, New York (92NY) today announced its 2024/25 Tisch Music Season. Over the past century and a half, 92NY has grown into one of New York City’s — and the world’s — most influential cultural institutions. This season builds exponentially on the organization’s rich history of presenting the best and most innovative musicians performing across a wide range of genres, from classical to jazz, advancing and expanding each genre through commissions and multi-disciplinary collaborations. With this, his first season as Executive Director of Tisch Music, Nicholas Russotto has created an exciting season including Four World, One U.S., and 19 New York Premieres, and returning Tisch Music favorites, expanding the scope of offered programming.

“The 2024/25 Tisch Music Season offers a rich kaleidoscope of vanguard artists and modern legends performing hallmarks of the repertoire as well as an array of contemporary music, a stage for some of the most forward-thinking artists in jazz, and an opportunity for iconic musical theater composers and legendary singer-songwriters to share their singular viewpoints on the American Songbook,” said Nicholas Russotto, Executive Director, Tisch Music. “I am thrilled to be leading Tisch in my first season as executive director and look forward to building seasons that consider the future of the performing arts, as we think expansively about the artists and the work that we feature on our stages.”
