After a 15 year run, the New York Musical Festival will cease operations, effective immediately.
“It is with a heavy heart that we face the reality of the arts funding crisis in the United States. It has caught up with NYMF,” reads a statement.
“The Board and donors have been valiantly subsidizing NYMF operations for 15 years, but looking ahead, we do not see a clear path forward.”
In its years of offering productions, readings, concerts, as well as a lot more, the annual event has served as an vehicle in the advancement of over 400 programs.
Some of these programs included Next to Normal, Emojiland, Chaplin, and The Other Josh Cohen.
The organization is led by Executive Director Scott Pyne and also Artistic Director West Hyler. The 14th annual event ended August 4 last year.
