New Festival Location For Long Island, NY!
*10/14/2021 Update
To our dear friends, in light of recent discussions with the local Long Island government and communities, we have decided to move the NY location of the 2021 LuminoCity Festival.
Out of respect for our local communities’ wishes, the festival will now be held at the beautiful Whitney Pond Park in Manhasset (7 Community Dr E, Manhasset, NY 11030), which is thankfully only 10 minutes from the original location at Clark Botanic Garden! While we are saddened to have to announce this news so close to our November opening, we at LuminoCity believe your safety and the happiness of our communities are of the utmost importance.
Luckily, with the help of the local Long Island government, the LuminoCity Festival lights will still shine in Long Island in 2021, and Lumi and his friends can’t wait to see everyone at the lovely Whitney Pond Park! We are confident that festivalgoers will still experience the joy and inspiration that LuminoCity is famous for.

Is financial growth one of your New Year’s resolutions? Start the year with Your First Million and a talk featuring the woman who built a venture capital firm from the ground up – while homeless. Joining her in conversation is television producer, actress, and media consultant Lana Schupbach.
For questions regarding the event and book pick-up, check out the FAQ section at the bottom of this page.
ABOUT THE BOOK
How to build a legacy of wealth and impact, from the “bold and relentless disruptor” changing the face of entrepreneurship in America (Black Enterprise).
Having lived nearly her entire life below the poverty line before going on to attain wealth and success as an entrepreneur and investor, Arlan Hamilton knows that entrepreneurship is the quickest path to money and power—particularly for those who haven’t had much of it in the past. In Your First Million, she shows how anyone—no matter what they look like or how much money they have—can tap into all the new tools they already have at their disposal to get their million-dollar idea off the ground.
Readers will learn: how to identify unmet needs, raise money, choose the right collaborators, create multiple income streams, and turn their unique knowledge and experience into a profitable businesses—while reinvesting in their communities and empowering others to do the same.
If we can change who gets to decide what new ideas are worthy, and who gets to turn those ideas into reality, not only can we change our own circumstances—we can change the world.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Arlan Hamilton built a venture capital fund from the ground up, while homeless. She is the Founder and Managing Partner of Backstage Capital, a fund that is dedicated minimizing disparities in tech by investing in high-potential BIPOC and LGBTQ founders. Since its founding in 2015, Backstage has raised $20 million and has invested in more than 200 startups.

20s & 30s Book Club supports debut authors and meets the first Sunday evenings to discuss, obsess, and dissect the books we’re currently reading.

WHEN: Sunday, Jan. 7th from 4-5:30pm
WHERE: Everything’s Jake NYC Bar & Lounge
READING: Excavations by Kate Myers
Book Hoes Book Club Group is a group of people who are a hoe for a good book and want to meet other like-minded hoes here in the city. Making friends in the city as an adult can be hard, but when we all have something in common it’s way easier. Please be mindful to others and come expecting a riveting conversation based on respect, admiration, and appreciation towards each other and the book we’re reading.

After the critical triumph of her Sondheim Sublime album– called “the finest Sondheim recording ever made” by The Wall Street Journal – Melissa Errico (My Fair Lady, High Society, Dracula, White Christmas) returns to the National Arts Club and to her favorite songwriter with an entirely new program of Sondheim songs, celebrating a new album and a different side of Sondheim. From the anthem of city busyness, “Another Hundred People,” to the bittersweet hymns of city marriage, “Sorry, Grateful” and “Good Thing Going”, with time for hard-boiled surprises like “Uptown, Downtown,” and surprisingly soft-centered ballads like “What More Do I Need? “ and “Dawn,” Melissa will sound out New York as she rounds out her portrait of Sondheim—and, as always in an Errico show, there will be smart talk from this celebrated New York Times columnist to go along with her sublime singing. Musical direction by Tedd Firth.
Melissa Errico’s highly anticipated album, Sondheim in the City, will be released by Concord Records on February 16, 2024, with an appearance at Birdland to celebrate the release.
Entry to this event is not guaranteed with Eventbrite reservation. Please arrive no more than 15-20 minutes before the event start time. Seating is first-come, first-served.
Please cancel your reservation if you are unable to attend.

An Entertainment Weekly’s Best Book of Fall“
Equal parts lush Gothic mystery and delicately wrought 1920s domestic drama. . . . a riveting exploration of the unknowable—whether it’s ghosts, spirits, or the people we love most.”—Tara Isabella Burton, author of The World Cannot Give
In 1920s Edinburgh, Scotland, Evelyn Hazard is a young, middle-class housewife living the life she’s always expected—until her husband, Robert, upends everything with a startling announcement: he can communicate with the dead.The couple is pulled into the spiritualist movement—a religious society of mediums and psychics that emerged following the mass deaths of the Spanish flu and First World War—and Evelyn’s carefully composed world begins to unravel. And when long-held secrets from her past threaten to come to the surface, presenting her with the prospect of losing all she holds dear, Evelyn finds herself unable to avoid the question: is the man she loves a fraud, a madman, or—most frighteningly—is he telling the truth?Cloaked in the moody, beguiling backdrop of twentieth-century Scotland, Anbara Salam’s Hazardous Spirits brings a sparkling sense of period detail and dry humor to the life of a young woman whose world is unsettled by mediums and spirits, revealing the devastating secrets that ghosts from the past can tell when given the voice to do so.

ABOUT MAX ROACH
NEA Jazz Master, MacArthur Genius, Drummer, composer, and percussionist Max Roach was noted for his innovative contrapuntal polyrhythms, and was one of the founders of the bebop movement in jazz. He is widely considered one of the greatest drummers of all time, able to keep separate simultaneous rhythms going with each hand, revolutionizing jazz drumming. He played on many of the most famous jazz recordings, including “Jazz at Massey Hall” with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, and Bud Powell, and “Birth of the Cool” with Miles Davis. He worked with other icons of jazz including Sonny Rollins, Clifford Brown, Thelonious Monk, singer Dinah Washington, and free jazz saxophonist Anthony Braxton. His work spanned a remarkable six decades.
AWARDS & HONORS
Roach was given a MacArthur Genius Grant in 1988 and cited as a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in France in 1989. He was twice awarded the French Grand Prix du Disque, was elected to the International Percussive Art Society’s Hall of Fame and the DownBeat Hall of Fame, and was awarded Harvard Jazz Master. He was celebrated by Aaron Davis Hall and was given eight honorary doctorate degrees, including degrees awarded by Medgar Evers College, CUNY, the University of Bologna, and Columbia University, in addition to his alma mater, the Manhattan School of Music.
ABOUT WINARD HARPER
Drummer WINARD HARPER is passionate about jazz. “This music is powerful,” he says. “It can do a lot of good for people. If they’d spend some time each day listening to it, we would see many changes in the world.”
Inspired by the musicianship of greats such as Clifford Brown, Max Roach, Jackie McLean, Cannonball Adderley, Dr. Billy Taylor, Art Blakey, and Billy Higgins, Harper has been the leader and musical inspiration for a vibrant sextet for almost a decade. The group appears regularly all over the United States from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. to Yoshi’s, the legendary West Coast jazz club. Although clearly the dominant force behind this extraordinarily gifted ensemble, Harper has surrounded himself with superbly talented young guardians of the jazz tradition (including Lawrence Clark, Ameen Saleem, Josh Evans, Stacy Dillard, and Alioune Faye), who are as entertaining to watch as they are to listen to.
