6. Attend a concert for peace
For over 30 years, The Cathedral of St. John the Divine has hosted a New Year’s Eve Concert for Peace. The tradition began with Leonard Bernstein who wanted to create a tribute to the people of New York City. The evening of music this year will feature conductors Kent Tritle and Bryan Zaros leading the cathedral’s choir and orchestra in Gustav Holst’s St. Paul’s Suite, David Lang’s Make Peace, Joseph Turrin’s Lullaby for Vaska, and Philip Herbert’s Elegy: in memorial.
You can grab your tickets here. The show will take place on Saturday, December 31st from 7 PM to 8:30 PM. If you can’t make it in person, this year’s concert will be available to live stream on the Cathedral’s Facebook page and YouTube channel, courtesy of the Mount Sinai Health System.
