| (February 19, 2019; NEW YORK, NY)—This spring 2019, Carnegie Hall presents Migrations: The Making of America, a citywide festival that traces the journeys of people from different origins and backgrounds who helped to shape and influence the evolution of American arts and culture. The festival features more than 100 events celebrating the many contributions—cultural, social, economic, and political—of the people who helped to build our American culture. Kicking off on March 9 at Carnegie Hall, the festival features musical programming at the Hall and public programming, performances, exhibitions, and events at more than 75 leading cultural and academic institutions across New York City and beyond through May 2019. At Carnegie Hall, festival concerts will examine the musical legacies of three migrations: the crossings from Scotland and Ireland during the 18th and 19th centuries; the immigration of Jews from Russia and Eastern Europe between 1881 and the National Origins Act of 1924; and the Great Migration—the exodus of African Americans from the South to the industrialized cities of the Northeast, Midwest, and West from 1917 into the 1970s. Migrations concerts by leading artists at Carnegie Hall include performances of bluegrass, old-time, klezmer, Yiddish musical theater, the Great American Songbook, blues, jazz, and more. Events at festival partner organizations, ranging from music and dance to exhibitions, talks, culinary events, and films, will further amplify the themes celebrated by Carnegie Hall as well as explore many other migrations from around the world—from elsewhere in Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia as well as the internal migration of Native Americans. Programming throughout the festival also focuses on New York City’s history and identity as a city welcoming to immigrants, highlighting the rich traditions and cross-cultural collaborations of the city’s many diverse communities. “With Carnegie Hall’s largest festival yet, we invite audiences to look more closely at how the migrations of people to and within this country and the evolution of art forms that they have developed here have been powerful influences on the creation and development of American culture,” said Clive Gillinson, Executive and Artistic Director of Carnegie Hall. “As we have planned this festival, it has been wonderful to see the passionate responses from partner organizations and how this theme has resonated with so many of them, resulting in a truly citywide celebration. We hope Migrations will be an opportunity to take a fresh look at how America has been enriched by the diversity of cultures, traditions, and people that make up this great nation.” FESTIVAL EVENTS AT CARNEGIE HALL At Carnegie Hall, the Migrations festival is anchored by three main events in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, with each performance representing one of three themes: Scots-Irish and Irish migration; the Russian and Eastern European Jewish migration; and The Great Migration, as well as six concerts in Zankel Hall—two for each theme.  The festival kicks off at Carnegie Hall on March 9 with Live From Here with Chris Thile, an evening of traditional Scots, Irish, and American folk music—including old-time and bluegrass—that explores the evolution of these traditions and their continued impact on one another. Fifteen-time Grammy-Award winning banjoist Béla Fleck, renowned double bassistEdgar Meyer, multi-award winning Gaelic singer Julie Fowlis, and Irish-American singer-songwriter Aoife O’Donovan will join the bill with Thile in Stern Auditorium / Perelman stage.
