THANK YOU, MIAMI 🧡

We’re over the Moon to have performed We Chose to Go to the Moon at Miami’s New World Center last weekend. During the production, we had the immense honor of saluting some American heroes:

⭐ Poppy Northcutt, the first woman to work in Mission Control at NASA, who also joined us at our Carnegie Hall performances.
⭐ Captain Kay Hire, former NASA astronaut, and the first woman in the US military to be assigned a combat position.
⭐ Commander Dave Scott, retired test pilot and NASA astronaut, and the seventh person to walk on the Moon.

We are beyond grateful to have had them in our audience and for all they have done and sacrificed to advance America’s space exploration, thrilling and inspiring us along the way.

We Chose to Go to the Moon is presented with the generous support of Kenneth C. Griffin and Griffin Catalyst.

🌎 An Earthrise in honor of Earth Day 🌎

Just over a year after the iconic “Earthrise” was captured on camera by astronaut William Anders on Christmas Eve, 1968, we celebrated our first Earth Day. Every year, we are reminded of the importance of taking care of the planet we call home.

Happy Earth Day!

🚀 Meet Mark and Kali Armstrong

We are so excited to share with you that Mark and Kali Armstrong, the son, and granddaughter of Neil Armstrong, will be joining us at Carnegie Hall for this one of a kind perforance. Learn more about them below:

📌 Mark Armstrong

Mark is a singer-songwriter, physicist, software engineer, actor, environmentalist, and entrepreneur. Armstrong spent 25 years working in consumer technologies, writing software and delivering products, primarily for Apple Computer platforms. Currently, Armstrong is a corporate advisor to several high-tech companies. His song, “Flight of Fancy” is the end-credit song for the documentary film “Armstrong,” which he has performed internationally, including at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. Armstrong is a staunch believer in exploration and using technology to better our lives, but he is adamant that we do so in ways that do not carelessly compromise our environment and the incredible life therein. To that end, Armstrong and his family have created Vantage Earth Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to raise public awareness, through music and the arts, about issues that threaten the long-term sustainability of planet Earth.

📌 Kali Armstrong

Kali Armstrong is a songwriter, environmental educator, and performing artist. She uses her music to educate and inspire others to care for the planet and each other. She is vice president of Vantage Earth Foundation, a non-profit that raises awareness of sustainability issues through the arts. Her recording of the original song “Flight of Fancy” was featured in the documentary film Armstrong. Armstrong continues to search for new ways to spotlight the importance of preserving biodiversity and prioritizing ecological health on Earth through scientific exploration, performance, and artistic collaborations.

📚 Meet Historian John Monsky

John Monsky is the creator, writer, and narrator of the American History Unbound series. His reverence for historical ephemera is at the core of his productions, with his meticulous research of flags and other tangible objects driving his narratives that explore landmark events in our history. His productions have been presented at Carnegie Hall, Boston’s Symphony Hall, The Kennedy Center, Miami’s New World Center, New Orleans’ Orpheum Theater and the Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts.

Monsky, who recently was profiled on CBS News’ Sunday Morning, has also appeared on CNN, C-SPAN, ABC and NBC and is on the board of directors of The Rockefeller University, Yale University Art Gallery and The New York Historical. He has workshopped many of his productions at The New York Historical, which has been an intellectual partner in the creation of his works. The flag collection—which he began in his boyhood—is nationally recognized and has been featured in The New Yorker and Art & Antiques Magazine. His article about George Washington, “Finding America in Its First Political Textile” was published in the Winterthur Portfolio.

🚀WE CHOSE TO GO TO THE MOON 🌕

We are pleased to announce that John Monsky’s acclaimed production, “We Chose to Go to the Moon,” returns to Carnegie Hall on April 7 & 8. Experience the euphoria and the heartbreak of America’s space race in this immersive performance narrated by historian John Monsky and directed by Tony winner Michael Mayer (Chess, Spring Awakening). With his signature mix of soaring music, archival film and photography, historic flags, and personal stories of all those involved—from astronauts and their families, including Neil and then-wife Janet Armstrong, to the unsung heroes of Mission Control—Monsky explores one of America’s greatest accomplishments in singular fashion. Ian Weinberger (Chess, Hamilton) conducts top Broadway vocalists and Orchestra of St. Luke’s in music from the era—popular, patriotic, and protesting, from “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Rocket Man,” to “Space Oddity” and “My Generation”— transporting audiences from quaking launch pads to tension-filled living rooms where families sat glued to their televisions, culminating in the fulfillment of President John F. Kennedy’s challenge to the nation on July 20, 1969.

🔗 Limited tickets are available via the link in our bio. We hope to see you there.
