Brooklyn Academy of Music Welcomes New Artistic Director for Fall Season
The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) is gearing up for an exciting fall season with the appointment of a new creative director, Amy Cassello. With a fresh perspective and a wealth of experience in the arts, Cassello is set to lead BAM into a season filled with innovative programming and thought-provoking performances.
Having been a part of the BAM team since 2012, Cassello is no stranger to the world of arts and culture. Her tenure as the associate producer for the Next Wave Festival has prepared her well for this new role, and her interim position as artistic director since fall 2023 has given her a taste of what’s to come.
BAM president Gian Duncan has expressed his excitement for Cassello’s appointment, praising her attention to detail and her dedication to supporting artists and arts workers. With Cassello at the helm, BAM is poised to bridge the gap between its rich history and its promising future.
The upcoming fall season at BAM promises to be a dynamic one, with a lineup that includes a diverse range of performances and events. From musical performances to poetry readings, dance pieces to plays, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The Next Wave Festival, kicking off in October, will feature a variety of performances that aim to challenge and inspire audiences.
In addition to the Next Wave Festival, BAM will also be presenting Emerging Visions, a series of new works that push the boundaries of traditional theater. With a musical adaptation of the film “Safety Not Guaranteed” and a meta theater experiment titled “Reconstructing (Still Working But the Devil Might be Inside),” audiences can expect to be taken on a journey of creativity and imagination.
