Symphony Space is thrilled to announce highlights of its 2022-23 season, an array of live events that bring literature to life, spark conversation, and provide intimate encounters with acclaimed musical artists. The programming features authors, actors, musicians, comedians, and other luminaries in original productions that, over the course of more than four decades, have made Symphony Space at the corner of 95th Street & Broadway a beloved New York City institution: thrilling events that happen one time only, and only at Symphony Space.

The real-life wizard and beloved Harry Potter star comes to Symphony Space to launch his new memoir, which offers a backstage pass to Tom Felton’s life—the challenges of growing up in the spotlight, and working with cinematic greats such as Alan Rickman, Dame Maggie Smith, and nine-year-old Emma Watson, who would become one of his dearest friends.

Singer, composer, musician, curator, and producer Toshi Reagon’s conviction that music can be transformative in consciousness and action is revealed through this intimate residency, exploring everything from disco music to the current challenges of our changing times, while introducing audiences to powerful new voices, all with the vision promoting positive social change.

Misty Copeland, The Wind at My Back with Gayle King

Tuesday, November 15 | 7PM

Misty Copeland, celebrated ballerina and New York Times bestselling author, discusses her latest book, a heartfelt memoir about her friendship with trailblazer Raven Wilkinson, and how two unapologetically Black ballerinas changed each other—and the dance world—forever. In conversation with Gayle King (CBS Mornings).

Richard Thompson: All Requests Live!

December 15, 16, and 17 | 8PM

“The finest rock songwriter after Dylan, and the best electric guitarist since Hendrix.”—The Los

Angeles Times

In this rare concert experience, it’s anyone’s guess what Thompson will play. Songs will be picked from selections submitted by the audience, and unknown to all (including Thompson) until the moment they’re presented to him onstage. A totally unique show each night.

Tickets are available now at symphonyspace.org.
