Henry Threadgill Performs in NYC in November – Vietnam Vets Invited
The renowned Pulitzer-Prize-winning jazz composer Henry Threadgill will be performing mixed media pieces in two venues in New York City in mid-November: on November 17 at 7:30 p.m at the Tilton Gallery (8 E. 76th St.), and on November 18 at the Luhring Augustine Gallery (531 W. 24th St.)
Threadgill—a Vietnam War veteran who received the VVA Excellence in the Arts Award in 2016—is setting aside several tickets for fellow Vietnam War veteran for both performances. And he would like to talk to them after the concerts about the music for a book he is writing.
