#CulturedPeachy Frick Appoints Head of Music and Performance

The Frick Collection shared today the appointment of Jeremy Ney as its Head of Music and Performance. In this newly created position within the curatorial department, Ney will oversee the museum’s music and performance programming, which will resume after the reopening of its renovated Fifth Avenue home. Building on the Frick’s longstanding tradition of presenting excellence in classical music, Ney will manage the institution’s seasonal series, taking advantage of a newly constructed 220-seat auditorium designed by Selldorf Architects. He will also explore opportunities to present music in the Frick’s galleries and other public spaces. Ney joins the Frick’s staff as of May 20, 2024.

Comments Xavier F. Salomon, Deputy Director and Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator, “We are thrilled that Jeremy Ney will serve as the next—and only fourth—director of a program with a long and remarkable history. With our forthcoming reopening, he will have the exciting task of re-establishing our music program, while developing and implementing a unified vision for performance that will enhance the experiences we offer in our galleries. His commitment to exploring connections between art and performance will find a welcome home at the Frick, where we look forward to new enthusiasts and patrons joining our loyal and discerning audiences.”

Ney comes to New York from Washington, D.C., with nearly fifteen years of experience in music and wider cultural non-profit programming and management. For the majority of the past thirteen years, he has served as Senior Director of Phillips Music at The Phillips Collection, curating and managing the institution’s 83-year-old concert series. (Like the Frick, the Phillips established a classical music series in the 1930s within the former residence of a collector interested in fostering appreciation of the fine arts and kindred subjects.)

States Ney, “This is a unique moment for The Frick Collection, and I am honored to lead the revitalization of the museum’s historic music series following the return to 1 East 70th Street. The new auditorium will provide an incredible space for performance, allowing audiences to reconnect with the storied core classical program at the Frick, while also providing greater flexibility to present a broad mix of musical styles. As someone who has spent years exploring the relationship between music and the visual arts, I am eager to explore rich possibilities that the Frick’s permanent collection and special exhibitions offer for musical response. I have been deeply impressed by the intellectual integrity and quality of everything at the Frick, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to shape how music can continue to contribute to the institution’s vibrant cultural offering.”

#TerrificTakeout #PeachysPicks #PeachyDeegan #Tamarind Since 2001 #WhomYouKnow #Manhattan @ManhattanPeachy A Peachy's Pick Since 2012, Tamarind by Avtar Walia Spring 2024 #Best #Indian #Restaurant in #Manhattan Right Now Says Whom You Know! A Peachy's Pick for a DOZEN Years!

Lobster Masala should be on your culinary bucket list!!!!

It's never been who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know Avtar Walia, the newest feature in Laudable Looks because his aesthetic precedence goes beyond the decor at 99 Hudson Street, founder and owner of Tamarind, the best Indian place in Manhattan (and everything our friend Ashok does in Washington is the best there-stay tuned, a place we have written about before is going to have Washington news soon). Avtar is from Bihar, Punjab, India: an agricultural state where there are lots of farms. Tamarind is in its 23rd year as it started in 2001.

If you know Peachy, you know she has ten million questions about everything all the time.

We knew that Tamarind was a spice.

We did not know that the spice was the result of a dried fruit and above there you have it, the tropical fruit Tamarind from Asia. It's a sweet and sour fruit, and when it dries it becomes a spice. To us it tasted a little bit like an apricot and it is always exciting to learn about origins like this.

Tamarind the restaurant has been a Peachy's Pick since 2012 and it last made a tantalizing appearance in Peachy's Picks at the end of 2022. You cannot find better Indian food anywhere! Well in America anyway-we have never been to India. (Mike Tyson thinks so too-check him out on their website, and we are glad to report we see Avtar with both ears still!)

We began with an onion fritter to ignite our appetite-an amuse bouche!

Everything at Tamarind is gorgeous.

Everything at Tamarind is gracious.

It goes without saying that the cleanliness level is spotless as is the service-listen to what Avtar tells you in the above video about the daily 45-minute meetings. This is rare.

Avtar is a tee-totaler and we gladly joined in; have you seen the fabulous new Degrenne that we told you about yesterday? Of course they are drinking Masala tea from India that Avtar picked out.

The appetizers boast tremendous depth and there are nearly twenty choices. Above, please meet Hara Bhara Kebab. If a chocolate Hostess cupcake filled with cream turned Indian savory vegetarian, it would look something like this (Peachy LOVES those cupcakes and most chocolate.) Obviously, the Tamarind version above is far more healthful and is made of grilled spinach patties stuffed with paneer, garam masala and red chili. They are so much fun to discover inside and delicious! Everyone knows how tall Peachy is, and in that line of thought she adores her fellow shrimps, especially when they are cooked on a plate in front of her to the taste levels of Tamarind. Baghare Jhinga are jumbo pan-seared shrimp with curry leaves and mustard seeds finished in a wonderful creamy tomato sauce. Both of these are bestsellers and are medium spicy to us-we'd be surprised if they set you aflame but you should know that every experience we have ever had at Tamarind in a dozen years has been positive and if Peachy's delicate easily-inflamed Irish tastebuds have been happy, yours will be too, readers! Note there is milk if you want it to quench any fire.

We three million percent agree with Avtar that fusion is a confusion and you can be rest assured that the dishes at Tamarind are purely Indian and authentic just like Avtar himself.

No one is confused here.

A new dish as of April 2024 - drumroll please - is Mutton Champaran, above.

The baby goat is tender in flavor and is marinated in whole garlic and ginger and then slow-cooked. It's sure to appeal to all those with exotic tastebuds and note we NEVER edit pictures. It looks this stunning in real life. You excel like Avtar, or we do not publish!

Roti is Breads and there are a dozen choices.

Peachy has a proud long love affair with carbs and she narrowed it down to two.

Above, meet Garlic Naan, the usual suspect for Peachy ordering Indian and just terrific at Tamarind!

Below, meet Wild Mushroom and Truffle Oil Naan! Not everywhere has this, which is reason alone to order it. It is pinky-out sensational flavor. Mike Tyson we hope you are reading!

Mirror mirror on the wall, what dish is the hottest one of them all?

To us this visit, this is taking a walk on the wild side: Tamarind Chili Murgh!

Tender boneless pieces of chicken party with jalapeno, cumin, curry leaf and tamarind for a totally tantalizing experience. We did love it but we did not eat it all at once.

Next, below is another brand-spanking-new April 2024 dish: Aloo Wadiyan, a Punjabi delight.

This is most representative of Punjab, of course where Avtar himself is from. Watch that video!

Potatoes, sun dried lentil dumplings are cooked with onion, tomato, mace and kasuri methi to form a dish that is like taking a vacation to India on a plate! It is not too spicy and just right for excitement.

Don't hate this one because it's beautiful.

Eat it!

Next on the tablecloth runway, Achari Khumb struck a pose.

Vegetables will make you feel fantastic and better yet are simply superb: button mushrooms are sauteed with onion, tomato, achari masala and fresh cilantro culminating in a sensational symphony of flavor.

An aspect that stands out at Tamarind is how they absolutely excel in seafood like no one else. Above, befriend the majestic Zameen Doz, delivered every day from England. That's Dover Sole, readers! It is brand new as of April 2024 and you absolutely positively must have it! Filets of Dover Sole are expertly layered with spices baked in a clay pot with pasanda (creamy onion, saffron, cashew, onion, coconut milk and tomato) sauce and all the spices that ravish it.

However, to Peachy, the cream of the crop, A number 1, is the LOBSTER MASALA.

No one else does it and if they tried they probably would have a hard time doing it as well as Tamarind. Lobster is cooked with onion, ginger, garlic, shiitake mushrooms and white wine sing a song of perfection on your palate.

A dish that is quiet luxury is the Chicken Shahi Korma. It's quite mild if you are spice-averse, readers.

Creamy decadence awaits you with the beautifully roasted chicken dancing in a lovely smooth saffron cashew sauce. Anyone can do blah blah blah ordinary masala but ONLY Tamarind can do Peachy's most favorite vegetable-haricot verts-in this way. Another drumroll please: brand new as of April 2024 is the Green Beans Masala. Beans cooked with onion, tomato, ginger, garlic and indian spices really are quite healthy we surmise as well as gorgeously colorful and nutritious!!! Another total must.

Dal Makhni, Black Lentils, are a wonderful digestive in our humble opinion and a delicious part of a balanced diet. Carefully cooked over a slow flame with pungent tomato puree and butter, this develops into a prevalent, striking flavor concentration that is wondrous on your palate: the black lentils are simmered overnight and finished with ginger, garlic, tomato and butter. The cappuccino seals the deal.

Tamarind continues to be Highly Recommended.

Avtar let's see you on Twitter (and of course his facebook page cannot be beat best one ever!)

#NewYorkNotes #Politics 9-TIME GRAMMY® WINNER SHERYL CROW AND SENS. JOHN CORNYN AND AMY KLOBUCHAR TO BE HONORED AT THE GRAMMYS ON THE HILL® AWARDS

GRAMMY® WINNERS AND NOMINEES UNITE WITH CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS FOR A NIGHT OF CELEBRATION AND SUPPORT FOR CREATORS' RIGHTS

On April 30, the Recording Academy® will host its annual GRAMMYs on the Hill® Awards, Washington's premier annual celebration of music and advocacy, bringing together congressional leaders and music makers to recognize those who have led the fight for creators' rights. Sponsored by City National Bank and benefitting the GRAMMY Museum®, this year's awards will honor nine-time GRAMMY® winner Sheryl Crow and Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) for their contributions to support music creators. Hosted by singer and actress Candiace Dillard Bassett, the awards dinner will be held at the Hamilton Live in Washington, D.C., and will feature live performances and special guests.

"Protecting the rights of creators lies at the core of the Recording Academy's mission," said Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy. "GRAMMYs on the Hill is an opportunity to celebrate the artists and our nation's leaders who champion this cause, and to acknowledge music's unifying power. We're grateful to Sheryl and Sens. Cornyn and Klobuchar for their tireless efforts in safeguarding the music community and are thrilled to be recognizing them later this month in our nation's capital."

"Receiving this award from Recording Academy is a tremendous honor for me, because protecting the rights of creators is more important now than ever before," said Crow. "In this age where technology is changing the world faster than we can adapt, we need clear eyes to see both the opportunities and the challenges ahead, so that artists are not disadvantaged any more than they already are. Music nourishes our humanity, and I am proud to be recognized as an advocate for the protection of the people who make it."

"As a Texan, a love of live music is in my blood, and I've been proud to lead the charge on legislation that helps artists, entertainers, and venues meet the needs of their fans, including the Save Our Stages Act and the Fans First Act," said Sen. Cornyn. "I want to thank the Recording Academy for honoring me, and I look forward to continue to work on behalf of performers and fans across Texas and the nation."

"It's an honor to be recognized by the Recording Academy, an organization that uplifts performers, songwriters, and other music professionals in our country," said Sen. Klobuchar. "Music has the power to bring us together and it is something we can never take for granted. That’s why I fought to pass the bipartisan Save Our Stages Act with Senator Cornyn to ensure independent arts venues survived the pandemic, and why we are working together to improve the ticketing experience with the Fans First Act. There's nothing like live music and concerts, and I remain committed to ensuring artists can continue to share their music with the fans who love it."

Crow has dedicated much of her life to activism, supporting policies and philanthropic endeavors close to her heart. In 2000, she co-founded the Recording Artists' Coalition with previous GRAMMYs on the Hill honoree Don Henley to protect creators' rights and change unfair industry practices. Her advocacy for artists and songwriters continued through congressional testimony, editorials, artist petitions, and more. In 2009, the Recording Artists' Coalition formed an alliance with the Recording Academy to continue its mission as a program within the Academy's Advocacy office. Recently, she has been vocal about the threat that AI presents to music creators, including on her new song "Evolution," which grapples with the future impact of artificial intelligence on humanity and the planet. As a philanthropist, Crow is known for her passionate support of multiple charities, including MusiCares®, The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, The World Food Program, Feeding America, ADOPT A CLASSROOM, the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Pelotonia, the Delta Children's Home and many other worthy causes. Crow is a nine-time GRAMMY winner and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2023. Her first nine studio albums have sold 35 million copies worldwide; seven charted in the Top 10, and five were certified for multi-platinum sales. Her songs defined the third wave of feminism, a rockist's ability to sweep the pop charts without losing any edge and enough wide-open Midwestern joy to captivate the world.

Cornyn and Klobuchar are the congressional honorees being recognized for their stalwart support of creators and their collaborative efforts championing key policies in support of the music community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sens. Cornyn and Klobuchar provided a critical lifeline for music through the Save Our Stages Act, which provided $16 billion in federal assistance to shuttered venues and represents the largest federal investment in the arts in U.S. history. In this Congress, they are working to reform live event ticketing through the Fans First Act. Introduced in December 2023, the legislation would address flaws in the ticketing marketplace by increasing transparency, protecting consumers from deceptive practices, and holding bad actors accountable.

The following day, May 1, the Recording Academy will host the annual GRAMMYs on the Hill® Advocacy Day, which brings current and past GRAMMY® winners and nominees, along with other esteemed industry leaders, to meet with lawmakers to discuss issues facing today's music creators. The day is recognized as Capitol Hill's largest and most prestigious legislative event for music. This year, music creators will convene with members of Congress to advance key issues that the Academy and its members continue to advocate for, including:Protecting the image, likeness and voice of individual creators from AI fakes through legislative measures such as the No AI FRAUD Act and the No FAKES Act discussion draft.

Reforming the live event ticket marketplace to better protect artists and fans through legislation including the Fans First Act and the TICKET Act.For the first time in 2024, GRAMMYs on the Hill will expand beyond the traditional two-day event to reflect Music's Biggest Week in Washington. On May 3, the GRAMMYs on the Hill Future Forum will be held in partnership with the Human Artistry Campaign, and will explore the impact of artificial intelligence on the music community.

Since its inception, GRAMMYs on the Hill has hosted award-winning artists and applauded congressional leaders alike, including 13-time GRAMMY winner Pharrell Williams, then-Vice President Joe Biden, two-time GRAMMY winner Garth Brooks, former United States Secretary of State and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), four-time GRAMMY winner Missy Elliott, former Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), 28-time GRAMMY winner Quincy Jones, seven-time GRAMMY winner John Mayer, former Speakers of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), 16-time GRAMMY Winner Alicia Keys, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and more. The annual advocacy event has also led to several major legislative wins for the music industry, most notably the Music Modernization Act.

This should surprise no one, given that there is a Truffle Peachy column and a Burrata Peachy column. Homemade Burrata filled with Black and White Truffle cream reigns triumphant lording over all other pizzas in the universe, especially when you consider the grape tomatoes of perfection, basil, prosciutto di Parma and evoo.

#ChezPeachy #KeepingFranceonTop #MadeinFrance #FrancePeachy #Degrenne Since 1948 @degrenne_paris MINERAL SALAM 4 CUP COBALT BELL TEAPOT Highly Recommended by @ManhattanPeachy #PeachyDeegan #WhomYouKnow #LivingHeritageofFrance

It's never been who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and sometimes it is concurrently QUE VOUS CONAISSEZ.

Mademoiselle Peachy has discovered an old-world luxury brand new to her that you simply must discover for yourself: DEGRENNE. We told you about it last week mes amis! It's time for Monday Motivation, and if you are like most Americans like Peachy, you absolutely must have your coffee in the morning, especially on a Monday/Lundi. However, it's spring and a time of rebirth, so it's also time to switch up your routine and may we suggest teatime! Please meet the The SALAM MINERALE 4-cup teapot that comes with a removable infuser. It's made of white porcelain and it contrasts with its cobalt blue brushed aluminum bell is in color.

Just like the world's greatest automobile ever the Chevrolet Corvette, this was created in 1953. The SALAM teapot is an essential reference for all tea lovers. The removable infuser reveals all the subtlety of the tea and avoids bitterness due to too long infusion. The steel bell lined with felt keeps the tea at the right temperature. A true icon, SALAM honors the tables with its presence. The white SALAM teapot, available in 4 sizes (2, 4, 6 or 8 cups), coordinates with a line of accessories designed to make the most of your tea break. Teapots are sold without mugs or cups.

In 1948, Guy Degrenne, a young son of a goldsmith, harbored a keen interest in designing and crafting flatware. Amidst traversing the battlefields of Normandy, he pondered the potential of the abundant stainless steel from tanks. Eventually, he conceived the idea of repurposing these tanks by bringing them to his father's manufacturing facility, utilizing the armored stainless steel as molds for his inaugural flatware collection. Today, Degrenne continues to offer the original flatware line he created, aptly named "Normandy." Today Degrenne has three factories: one for the stainless steel flatware in Normandy, one in Limoges for its high end porcelain and one in Alfold, Hungary for its colored porcelain and stoneware.

Cela n'a jamais été qui vous connaissez, c'est QUI VOUS CONNAISSEZ et parfois c'est en même temps QUE VOUS CONAISSEZ. Mademoiselle Peachy a découvert un nouveau luxe d'antan qu'il vous faut découvrir par vous-même : DEGRENNE. On vous en parlait la semaine dernière mes amis ! C'est l'heure de la motivation du lundi, et si vous êtes comme la plupart des Américains comme Peachy, vous devez absolument prendre votre café le matin, surtout un lundi/lundi. Cependant, c'est le printemps et l'heure de la renaissance, il est donc aussi temps de changer de routine et pouvons-nous vous proposer l'heure du thé ! Découvrez la théière 4 tasses SALAM MINERALE livrée avec un infuseur amovible. Il est fabriqué en porcelaine blanche et contraste avec sa cloche en aluminium brossé bleu cobalt. Tout comme la plus grande automobile du monde, la Chevrolet Corvette, celle-ci a été créée en 1953. La théière SALAM est une référence incontournable pour tous les amateurs de thé. L'infuseur amovible révèle toute la subtilité du thé et évite l'amertume due à une infusion trop longue. La cloche en acier doublée de feutre maintient le thé à la bonne température. Véritable icône, SALAM honore les tables de sa présence. La théière blanche SALAM, disponible en 4 tailles (2, 4, 6 ou 8 tasses), se coordonne avec une ligne d'accessoires conçue pour profiter au maximum de votre pause thé. Les théières sont vendues sans mugs ni tasses. Il est absolument magnifique et pouvons-nous dire unisexe et a également un double attrait pour la maison ou le bureau.

En 1948, Guy Degrenne, jeune fils d'orfèvre, nourrit un vif intérêt pour la conception et la fabrication de couverts. En parcourant les champs de bataille de Normandie, il réfléchit au potentiel de l’abondant acier inoxydable provenant des chars. Finalement, il a eu l'idée de réutiliser ces réservoirs en les apportant à l'usine de fabrication de son père, en utilisant l'acier inoxydable blindé comme moules pour sa première collection de couverts. Aujourd'hui, Degrenne continue de proposer la ligne de couverts originale qu'il a créée, bien nommée « Normandie ». Degrenne possède aujourd'hui trois usines : une pour les couverts en inox en Normandie, une à Limoges pour sa porcelaine haut de gamme et une à Alfold en Hongrie pour sa porcelaine et grès colorés.
