LITERATURE:ON OUR PHYSICAL (AND OUR VIRTUAL STAGES STARTING MARCH 2020), SYMPHONY SPACE PRESENTS A FULL SLATE OF ARTISTICALLY AND CULTURALLY DIVERSE LITERARY PROGRAMS THAT FEATURE CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY WORKS BY ESTABLISHED AND EMERGING AUTHORS. OUR SELECTED SHORTS LITERARY SERIES WAS CONCEIVED WITH A SIMPLE PREMISE-GREAT STORIES PERFORMED BY GREAT ACTORS-AND IT HAS INFLUENCED GENERATIONS OF READERS THROUGH LIVE PERFORMANCES ON STAGES IN NEW YORK CITY AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE SELECTED SHORTS RADIO HOUR AIRS ON 125 PUBLIC RADIO STATIONS, ATTRACTING 200,000 LISTENERS EACH WEEK; MORE THAN 66,000 PEOPLE DOWNLOAD THE PODCAST EVERY WEEK. AT THE THALIA BOOK CLUB AND THALIA KIDS BOOK CLUB, READERS AND WRITERS REVISIT CHERISHED CLASSICS AND EXPLORE NEW AND NOTEWORTHY WORKS THROUGHOUT EVENTS THAT FEATURE WIDE-RANGING AUTHOR INTERVIEWS, A VIVID PERFORMANCE OF AN EXCERPT BY AN ACTOR, AND A LIVELY Q & A WITH THE AUDIENCE. OUR VIRTUAL BLOOMSDAY ON BROADWAY CELEBRATED JAMES JOYCE'S ULYSSES OVER THE COURSE OF 14 HOURS WITH 22 PERFORMANCES BY ACTORS AND MUSICIANS.

MUSICSYMPHONY SPACE HAS A LONG AND ILLUSTRIOUS HISTORY AS A PRESENTER OF DISTINCTIVE MUSIC EVENTS ACROSS GENRES-FROM CLASSICAL TO CONTEMPORARY, OPERA TO BROADWAY, AND BLUEGRASS TO WORLD MUSIC. WE CONTINUE TO BUILD UPON THIS LEGACY THROUGH ARTISTIC RESIDENCIES, WORLD AND NEW YORK PREMIERES, AND EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCES. OUR WEEKLY SERIES, REVELRY, FEATURES AMERICAN ROOTS AND GLOBAL MUSIC IN ALL THEIR VARIETY. JUST KIDDING PRESENTS FAMILY-FRIENDLY AND KID-CENTERED LIVE PERFORMANCES BY AWARD-WINNING MUSICIANS, STORYTELLERS, PUPPETEERS, AND DANCERS-AT AFFORDABLE PRICES AND ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE.
