We’re one day away from Lin-Manuel Miranda + Friends, a special and unique event created just for Tilles Center! Join us as we host a moderated conversation with Pulitzer Prize, Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award-winning songwriter, actor, producer and director Lin-Manuel Miranda. Complementing the conversation and performing works from “Hamilton” and “In the Heights” are Broadway stars Mandy Gonzalez (“In the Heights,” “Wicked,” “Hamilton”) and Javier Muñoz (“In the Heights,” “Hamilton”). Music direction and piano by Dan Lipton. The conversation will be moderated by Jeremy McCarter, co-author, with Lin-Manuel Miranda, of two New York Times bestsellers, Hamilton: The Revolution and In the Heights: Finding Home. Dan Lipton will be leading a three-piece band of musicians sourced from the RISE Theatre Directory, co-founded by Lin-Manuel. The Directory seeks to build a more equitable and inclusive theatre industry. Musicians for the evening will be guitarist Jacinta Clusellas, drummer Emma Ford and bassist Irio O'Farrill. Additionally, students from the award-winning Central Islip High School Concert Choir will join the company for the celebratory closing numbers. We are proud to partner with the Miranda Family Fund in the creation of opportunities for artists of color. Proceeds from Lin-Manuel Miranda + Friends support these efforts. Sponsored, in part, by Victoria Rodriguez Minowitz & Robert Minowitz, Diana and Randy Plotnitzky and Brenda and Jason Wilensky. #TillesCenter #LIU #LongIsland #LinManuelMiranda #ThingsToDoOnLongIsland #Broadway #Hamilton #IntheHeights

Do you like political humor? Then join us as we welcome comedian Bassem Youssef September 28 in our intimate Krasnoff Theater! Bassem was the host of the popular TV show “Al Bernameg,” the first of its kind political satire show in the Middle East. His brand of humor has led him to be called the “Jon Stewart of the Arab World,” which is fitting, as he was also a featured correspondent on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” We hope you join us for this very special evening of comedy! #TillesCenter #LIUPost #LongIsland #Comedy #BassemYoussef #ThingsToDoOnLongIsland

It’s #NationalRadioDay! We’d like to give a shout out to our friends at WFUV, a station we have worked closely with for several years. The station first went on the air in 1947 – that’s a lot of music! Here’s to them bringing the best artists, old and new, to our listening ears. 🎶🎼📻🎼🎶

Our 2023/24 season of classical offerings begins Sunday, October 29 with Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s “American Panorama,” an afternoon of American-inspired music, culminating in Aaron Copland’s epic “Appalachian Spring.” Commissioned by the late choreographer and dancer, Martha Graham, “Appalachian Spring” premiered in 1944 at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., with Graham dancing the lead role. Copland originally titled the work “Ballet for Martha,” but Graham suggested its current name shortly before the iconic work’s premiere. Also on the program are works by Dvořák, Burleigh and Foote. We hope you join us for this delightful afternoon of chamber music, performed by some of the world’s greatest musicians! Ticket link in bio. Chamber music at Tilles Center is made possible, in part, by The Honorable Roger B. Tilles. #TillesCenter #LIUPost #LongIslandUniversity #LongIsland #DiscoverLI #DiscoverLongIsland #PerformingArts #ThingsToDoOnLongIsland #ChamberMusic #ClassicalMusic #CMS #chambermusicsociety
