YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFor more than 150 years, Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn has been the final resting place for many notable New Yorkers. Opened in 1838, Green-Wood has thousands of trees shading miles of rolling hills. It is peaceful, beautiful, and expansive and the last place you'd expect to find a concert series. But Green-Wood plays host to unique classical music performances, so popular they sell out in minutes. Death of Classical is the creative genius of Andrew Ousley, who oddly enough came up with the idea to celebrate life. So what exactly is a catacomb? Ousley explained it is a subterranean space where often an entire family is interred. They were more popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Green-Wood's catacomb welcomes a variety of musical artists. There are quartets, violinists, and singers who have hauntingly beautiful voices. All of the musicians who participate are carefully chosen. Each concert starts with sunset cocktails before a quiet and contemplative stroll along Green-Wood's historic winding pathways. The walk ends at the door to the catacomb, dramatically lit and bathed in red light. The next time you pass by Green-Wood Cemetery, think of it as more than just a burial ground. It is also a place where classical music is alive and well.
