Celebrate the solstice with music and Grace.
TILT kicks off summer with a different angle on music, an intimate concert in celebration of light, taking place in the marvelous ambiance of Grace Cathedral on the longest day of the year. We begin the evening with The Warm Up, a reception with summery spritzers and canapés accompanied by the exuberant fusion of global rhythms and soulful improvisation performed by internationally recognized Wobbly World.
As the sunlight fades from the glittering stained glass windows, revel in gorgeous songs of diverse genres performed by celebrated soloist Leah Crocetto and pianist and producer Ronny Michael Greenberg. We’ll be bringing the sunset indoors courtesy of Mad Alchemy, a company that has been mesmerizing audiences with its Analog Liquid Light Show since 1971.

About TILT
The name TILT refers to the angle of the sun at the summer solstice, the point where the sun appears to reach its highest point in the sky for the year (the word “solstice”? combines the Latin words sol for “sun”? and sistere for “to stand still”?).
For Paul
TILT is inspired by the memory of Paul Crane Dorfman (1939-2018), a good friend of the cathedral who loved music, culture, houses of worship, fresh ideas, and mentoring young people.
