AN ANNUAL FESTIVAL CELEBRATING ARTS AND ACTIVISM ACROSS GREENWICH VILLAGE AND
THE EAST VILLAGE


TWO WEEKS: SEPTEMBER 14 THROUGH 28, 2024


CLOSER THAN YOU THINK!

In just three months’ time, the opening of Framing the Village – The Village
Trip art show heralds the start of The Village Trip 2024. Highlights were
unveiled with a launch party at the historic Bitter End, attended by Village
Trip performers and Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine.

A cornucopia of events will take place at venues across Greenwich Village, the
East Village and the Lower East Side, from September 14 through 28. The curtain
goes up, though, on Framing the Village on September 5—a visual prelude to the
festival as a whole. If you’re an artist and want to be part of the exhibition,
you can submit work right now here. The theme this year is Identity.

The opening of the festival proper will be heralded by a block party on West 4th
Street, “New York’s Left Bank,” on September 14. The afternoon event will be
centered around the historic Music Inn, a Village fixture for more than half a
century and a regular stop for the likes of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and George
Harrison. Back then, jam sessions would include musicians hanging out at Allan
Block’s Sandal Shop next door. Allan was a keen fiddler, and his daughter Rory,
who played at our 2019 festival, is an award-winning blues guitarist. Our
afternoon-long event will be built around Village Trip Artist Emeritus David
Amram and will draw on Music Inn’s regular roster of performers who still gather
in the store for weekly sessions.

The festival will close as usual with The Village Trip’s signature free concert
in Washington Square Park, which this year features Tish and Snooky, Janie
Barnett, and BETTY, Gloria Steinem’s favorite band, who were due to perform last
year but stormy weather forced us to cancel the concert. It’s an all-female
line-up and includes two sister acts! Girl Power! Wouldn’t all those pioneering
Village women be thrilled!

In between, we will be presenting a rich and varied program of free and
low-priced family-friendly, rainbow-colored events – folk, rock, jazz and
classical music; walks and talks; and a children’s program, details of which are
to follow.

Joint Artist Directors Liz Thomson and Cliff Pearson said:

> “This year's Village Trip is going to rock the Village--both East and West.
> We’re thrilled to be adding the Blue Note to our roster of partner venues, and
> starting a relationship with The Clemente, which extends our reach in the
> Lower East Side and the Latino communities there.
> 
> “We are honored to be working with the Lead Belly family for the New York City
> premiere of the documentary Lead Belly: The Man Who Invented Rock ‘n’ Roll,
> and with Gail Papp, who will join us once more when David Amram presents an
> evening of music he composed for Joe Papp’s Shakespeare in the Park.”

There’s much more to come, including details of James Baldwin 100, a series of
events which will look both backward and forward, using new music by
contemporary composers and Baldwin's own words to celebrate his centennial.
Chiming with that, Professor Ruth Feldstein’s Village Trip Lecture will reflect
on Black women entertainers and their role in the Civil Rights movement.

William Anderson and Joan Forsyth, who preside over the festival’s Classical and
New Music program, added:

> “Downtown’s history of classical music is rich and vibrant. The Academy of
> Music and the first Steinway Hall were on 14th Street, near where Dvorak began
> his New World symphony. Gershwin grew up on the Lower East Side. And Astor
> Piazzola birthed modern tango on East 9th Street and in Little Italy. The
> scene is no less vibrant today, with four flourishing music schools and hosts
> of young musicians following in the footsteps of the many who went before
> them.
> 
> “Once again, our Classical and New Music Program will connect past and
> present, exploring and celebrating the Village, East and West, as an artistic
> gathering place where musical forms and ideas collide in languages as varied
> as those spoken on its crooked streets. As always it will be an exhilarating
> ride.”

Mark your calendars, tell your friends! The Village Trip 2024 will soon be upon
us – bookings will open in early July.

And please consider a donation. The Village Trip is a 501c3 organization, so
your contributions are tax-deductible. Whatever you can give, it is much
