2025 Copland House Gala

UNSTOPPABLE!

Celebrating Creativity and the Human Spirit

Sunday evening, November 16, 2025 EVENT PASSED!

~~6:00pm cocktails and hors d'oeuvres / 6:45pm multi-media performances / 7:30pm dinner~~

Stanley Kaplan Penthouse, Lincoln Center
165 West 65th Street, NYC

For our legendary namesake Aaron Copland, creativity was
“a confirmation of the importance of life.” Especially in volatile times of upheaval, adversity, or calamity (natural or man-made), the unstoppable power of ideas and the imagination brings people together and sustains, comforts, and inspires. Crystallizing private feelings into public expression, art and creativity energizes, entertains, and enlightens.

We hope you’ll party with us at a very special evening of in-the-moment, interactive creativity, brilliant performances, and multiple surprises – all to help Copland House continue nourishing hearts, minds, and souls, young and old, rich and poor, near and far. And we’ll also raise a glass to Aaron Copland on his 125th birthday that week, and celebrate his guiding spirit, generous humanity, and lasting impact on American culture.

To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself,
incredible and inconceivable.AARON COPLAND
