YULEIMA
Music Producer
Yelitza (my twin sister) and I work with Linda Briceño aka Ella Bric, a two-time Latin Grammy winner and the first woman to win as Producer of the Year. When the quarantine started we thought that our block needed a little help at the 7 pm clap for essential workers. So one day, after coming back from delivering meals for the elderly, with the help of a friend, we set up the speakers in a window and asked Ella to play her trumpet while Yelitza played the tambourine and I played the maracas from the street. Well, the neighbors loved our mini-concert so much that one day became three months. Every day at 7 pm “La trompeta de Harlem” came out and played for 10 minutes. First by herself, but later with many well-known musicians that wanted to join the cause.
People came in from all over Harlem, the Upper West Side, Long Ilsand City and even New Jersey. They came out from their windows, their balconies, fire escapes, and some of them stayed in their cars while many were on the street.
We were featured on the local news, on Univision, CNN, on an AT&T commercial, and on the first documentary for YouTube Originals called “Aislados”.
On October 16th at 7 pm, Ella Bric will be played at the Lincoln Center: Gold Sessions at the Hearst Plaza.
JANUARY FOOD FESTIVAL: 24 CARROT GOLD
Each month, our Great Performances menus feature seasonal ingredients. It’s our way of celebrating the earth and bringing our special touch to every menu.
ROASTED HARISSA CARROTS
by Dana-Marie Moore, Executive Sous Chef
Carrots and coriander are related, so it’s no surprise that they taste so delicious together. Here, we’ve amped up the flavor with a sweet chili harissa blend for spice and warmth and sweetened with a touch of honey. The tart pops of pomegranate seeds and salty crunch of pistachios add even more delightful colors, textures, and flavors.
About the Artist: Erin Robinson is one of our GP Artists. Click here to see more of her art.
INGREDIENTS
PROCEDURE
- 1 pound carrots, left whole
1/2 Tablespoon olive oil - 1 Tablespoon sweet chili harissa spice blend (sweet chili flakes, cumin, garlic, and coriander)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1 small bunch parsley leaves, left whole
- 1/4 cup Pomegranate seeds
- 1/4 cup Pistachio, toasted, coarsely chopped
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees

SANTOS IRWIN
Photographer
In 2018 I had the great opportunity to visit Uganda and Rwanda.
I got to see amazing animal life and meet remarkable people while learning about the roots “where it all began”.
These portraits are of some of the children I met along the way.
Every child welcomed me with a smile or laugh and it opened my eyes and heart even more.
Many kids have to trek miles for school, necessities, work and water.
Each child had such a presence when they talked to me.
The purity and kindness of the children reminded me that we must treat each other with love and respect.
I thought this would tie in with what is happening in our world today.
With Black Lives Matter we all have to stop looking at our differences the hate and anger has to be turned into love, acceptance and understanding. These images help to remind me during these turbulent times of the saying I heard while in Africa “One Blood, One World”.

Grown Up Christmas List
I’m Caitlin Borek. I hail from the midwest but I’ve called NYC my home for nearly 5 years now. GP was a huge reason I was able to flourish in this grand city, with it’s flexible hours, solid pay, and the artists they hire. It’s the best kind of environment for a hustling performer. I studied musical theatre, and am currently performing in a Christmas Concert up in Wisconsin. The theatre has gone above and beyond with safety measures due to Covid-19, including occupying the house at only 25% capacity, installing iodizers in the filtration system, social distancing the audience and requiring the use of masks, and keeping the 4 singers 8ft away from everyone at all times. This piece I submitted is one of the songs from the show. I love how it captures the desire for peace and love in these trying times, and I wanted to share that sense of optimism.

As we celebrate Giving Tuesday this year, we’ve highlighted some of our favorite organizations and programs to consider as you’re preparing your gift lists. For those who are difficult to shop for or who have everything, consider a donation to their favorite charity, a membership to a museum, performing arts or cultural center, or meals to those most in need.

Keeping Our Kids and Youth Healthy and Safe

Creating a safe learning environment for kids to learn about food and health was the foundation of The Sylvia Center, founded in 2007 by Liz Neumark. We’ve gone on to support a variety of other programs that support kids and youths.
- The Sylvia Center – The mission of the organization is to inspire young people to become healthy eaters and advocates for healthy food in their families and communities.

Through year-round programs and its signature OHNY Weekend, it connects New Yorkers to the buildings, spaces, and stories that define our city—inviting everyone to explore, learn, and take pride in the place we call home.

Nurturing Our Spirits
Where would we be without the arts, culture, music, history and gardens that beautify the city, enrich our souls, and provide context for our lives. It’s part of our DNA, from our roots providing artists with jobs to support their passions to our incredible partners.
- The Apollo Theater – The Apollo Theater is a commissioner and presenter; catalyst for new artists, audiences, and creative workforce; and partner in the projection of the African American narrative and its role in the development of American and global culture.

- Jazz at Lincoln Center – The mission of Jazz at Lincoln Center is to entertain, enrich and expand a global community for jazz through performance, education, and advocacy. We believe jazz is a metaphor for Democracy. Because jazz is improvisational, it celebrates personal freedom and encourages individual expression. Because jazz is swinging, it dedicates that freedom to finding and maintaining common ground with others. Because jazz is rooted in the blues, it inspires us to face adversity with persistent optimism.
- The New York Historical – Illuminates the stories of New York and the nation through groundbreaking exhibitions, public programs, and educational initiatives. As the city’s oldest museum, it preserves and shares the diverse narratives that have shaped our collective history, inspiring curiosity, understanding, and civic engagement for generations to come.

Joseph Perniciaro | Producer
I am excited to announce a Veteran’s Day benefit weekend reading of Sundogs, I am producing by Howard Emanuel. About the play: In a haunting yet humorous meditation on hope, belief, and love, SUNDOGS explores the emotional and spiritual rebellions of Joseph Garnier, a US Army Sergeant who awakens one day hearing the pounding of drums. He believes The Drums are the key to resurrecting order amid the chaos of his American life. But not even he is prepared for what will perish and what will remain as the sun sets, long-held secrets are revealed, and The Drums continue their crushing crescendo.
Starring Armie Hammer, Jenn Gambatese, Maurice Jones, Tobias Segal, Grace Porter, and Jordan Bridges.
