Bowery Music+Poetry+Film 2025
H. Paul Moon presents a season of flowing theatrical encounters for you with chamber music, spoken word poetry, and film projections at Bowery Poetry Club. Next in September, after April’s debut event, is “Dreaming Poetry Into Music” with Duo della Luna. TICKETS
Tuesday, September 30, 2025 at Bowery Poetry Club, 308 Bowery, NYC
4:00pm workshop, Duo della Luna and participants will explore live interactive experiments with words and music / free admission
7:30pm concert, doors open 6:30pm with cash bar / $20 admission, in advance or at the door
Composer/vocalist Susan Botti and violinist Airi Yoshioka as Duo della Luna present a program of works fusing poetry with music – featuring a new piece by Botti in collaboration with the Dream Project Writing for Resilience Cohort. Profoundly resonant during this time of immigration policy disruption, the new work is fueled by the poetry and experiences of this collective of “Dreamers” (undocumented and asylum-seeking youth) and hopes to amplify their voices. The performance will also include works of powerful poetry by Reza Baraheni, Elizabeth Bradfield, Serena Sue Hilsinger, Rachel O’Neill, Lewis Carroll, and Hafiz; and music by composers Ashkan Behzadi, Eliza Brown, Linda Dusman, Salina Fisher, and Reena Esmail. (Before the show, Duo della Luna also will run a workshop with/for poets using improvisation to creatively intersect words with music – an experience for you to watch or join before the evening performance.)
