The event includes:

● Untold Elegy, a chamber music work composed by Kinan Abou-afach and performed by the Bergamot Quartet with mezzo-soprano Elisa Sutherland
● A staged reading of The Simplest Thing by Cookie Mueller with Tony and Emmy Award-nominated actor Jessica Hecht
● A performance by the New York City Gay Men’s Chorus will sing I Stop Somewhere, Waiting For You
The program invites all to remember a friend, a family member, a loved one, a mentor, or a hero, or to honor an activist, organization, ally, or noteworthy community member.
