It only happens once a year so this year I am going to try NOT to miss this event which is part of openhousenewyork. The organizers describe this event as both a historical walking tour and an exciting live performance. You get to follow a cast of thirty angels through the beautiful Green-Wood Cemetery in a guided meditation on New York’s overlapping past and present.

Could you email me with the date your group will again preform at Greenwood Cemetery in October 2009. I missed it last year because of I had the wrong date. I want to thank you in advance for the information.
The performance / event / tour was really awesome. The performances were eerily beautiful, and the weather was just perfect for it. So glad I went and brought the good camera :)
