MIDTOWN LIVE Series-1

Midtown Live launches its inaugural season at THE BLANC in celebration of 20th-century sonic innovations that occurred in our neighborhood — like Fox Film's pioneering of synchronized sound-on-film with the opening of its Movietone studios in 1927, NBC's construction of the world's largest radio studio in 1933, and Charlie Parker's recording of his bebop classic "Ko-Ko" at WOR Studios in 1945, which revolutionized American music.

Curated by musician and interdisciplinary artist Neil Leonard, the inaugural concert brings together Michael J. Schumacher, James Ilgenfritz, and AC Diamond for an evening of electronic music, sound art, and improvisation.
