I’m Not Trying to Be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches with Drew Nieporent.
DATE CHANGE PLEASE NOTE that this is event has been moved from January 15 to January 6 at 6:30 p.m.
——————-
Drew Nieporent is a legend in New York’s food world–known as “the restaurateur’s restaurateur” (Danny Meyer) and “one of the people who changed American restaurants” (Ruth Reichl). The James Beard Award-winning founder of Nobu, Montrachet and Tribeca Grill has long been celebrated for what Meyer calls “his insatiable appetites for food, hospitality, showmanship, and winning.” He’s also known as a spellbinding raconteur. In his new book, I’m Not Trying To Be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches, Nieporent tells the dramatic story of his own rise to power—from waiting tables to leading a culinary empire—and his eventual partnerships with movie men like Robert DeNiro, Robin Williams and Francis Ford Coppola. This “startlingly honest” book is not just a memoir, but the portrait of an evolving industry, as Nieporent “takes you behind the kitchen door to show you how the business really works” (Reichl).

No auditions. No judgment. No need for perfection. Just the joy of singing in harmony with a room full of beautiful humans.
WHAT IS A ONE-DAY CHOIR?
Gaia Music Collective’s One-Day Choir series is an opportunity to sing in a choir for one day only. A celebration of song and the connective power of singing in harmony. An opportunity to build community, make some new friends, and raise our powerfully diverse voices as one.
No auditions. No commitment. No judgment or need for perfection.
Just the joy of creating something bigger than ourselves with a room full of beautiful humans!
For each choir, we pick a piece of music to rehearse and sing our hearts out to. In our time together, we’ll:
Play some fun singing games, warmups and connection games
Work through the piece section by section
Break down the lyrics and emotions at play in the song
Shape some key musical moments
And record some casual rehearsal videos of the piece to have for ourselves and share with the greater Gaia community
Whether you’re a vocal ensemble veteran or have never sung in a group before, you are welcome here – all experience levels are valued in Gaia Music Collective!
OUR SONG THIS TIME AROUND
The second track on Rosalía’s epic album “LUX,” “Reliquia,” finds the sacred in the human and the human in the sacred. Together we’ll celebrate what is lost and found in each of us as we journey through life. In this arrangement for choir/viola, our voices will inhabit all the drama of a soaring string section, and all the intimacy of a lonely piano. All levels of Spanglish experience are welcome!
LEARNING THE MUSIC
Sheet music and vocal recordings of each part will be available as learning resources at least a week before the event, to accommodate multiple ways of learning. These resources will either be included in your order confirmation or sent out in an email!
The intention is for us to come into the gathering having already familiarized ourselves with the parts, so that we can spend our time together really diving into the joys of connection and expression in the music rather than simply teaching parts one by one. That being said, we’re just doing this for ourselves, so there’s no need to stress over it (and definitely no need to memorize it or get it “perfect”, ever)! It’s also often easier to sing in person, when the rest of our part-buddies are singing the part with us. The community is here to support! Our primary intention here is simply to have fun and make some great music.
(If this style of learning isn’t your cup of tea, we have other group singing events where you don’t need to prepare at all! Check out our CircleSinging gatherings and House Shows.)
LED and FACILITATED BY:
This event will be facilitated by the brilliant Sofia Campoamor.
Sofía Campoamor (she/her) first started writing songs to make school projects more fun. This lighthearted approach to academics led her to study music at Yale University, where she performed a cappella music around the world as the first woman member of the Whiffenpoofs.
Now that school has given way to a music career, Sofía looks for ways to make her songwriting itself more fun! Her 2023 36-song cycle “to fall in love with anyone…” was structured as a daily challenge answering the “36 questions that lead to love” as song prompts. In 2022, Sofía’s word game project #wordlesong gained popularity on Tiktok and generated several of the songs for her debut album “if you knew, i couldn’t tell,” an indie folk collection that blends her love of intricate vocal harmony with dreamy acoustic soundscapes to tell tales of love, longing and friendship.
When she’s not touring or recording, Sofía volunteers for the nonprofit Hear Your Song, leading collaborative songwriting sessions with children managing serious illness and complex health needs. She also enjoys teaching music to kids ages 5 to 80 and singing with the Oratory Choir of St. Boniface as the head cantor. Sofía is so grateful to call Gaia Music Collective her creative home, and loves co-creating with the community at every collaborative open mic, songwriting circle, and choir!

COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
At Gaia Music Collective, we are dedicated to building a community where creativity, collaboration, and care thrive. The values listed here shape how we work together, how we engage with the world, and how we move toward upholding these principles.
OUR MISSION
Gaia Music Collective is an NYC-based creative community seeking to foster a more connected world through collective music-making. Founded in June of 2021 in a living room in Brooklyn, this project was born out of a desire to create accessible, inclusive, playful spaces for people to explore connection, expression, healing, and release through collaborative song – spaces where folks feel empowered to make music free of judgment or expectation, and to make new friends as our full, beautiful, authentic selves.
We believe that communal music-making is a fundamental human practice, and this project seeks to build spaces for folks to nurture their relationship to music, whether they’re shower singers, professional musicians, or anything in between.
All are welcome in this community. Gaia seeks to foster spaces of belonging for humans of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, classes, religions, abilities, national origins, languages, and musical experiences. All we ask is that you bring an open mind, a desire to connect, and a willingness to leave judgment of self and others at the door.
