Your Morning Sift

Good morning.

Up and at 'em...or something. Gawd, it's early. Enjoy your morning Sift.

A- Friday evening is going to be very special at the New World Center, according to South Florida Classical Review.

With all due respect to Carnegie Hall and Vienna’s Musikverein, even those grand temples of classical music couldn’t handle the event planned this Friday by the New World Symphony.

The performance of four world premieres, video art and poetry will rely on the technology and architectural infrastructure built into the orchestra’s modernist, one-year-old campus in Miami Beach. Using auxiliary stages mounted around the hall, the evening will move without a break from string quartet to orchestral ensemble to wind octet. Huge screens will display rush-hour street scenes from New York City. And a sophisticated electronics and speaker system will allow one composer to use a computer program during the performance to manipulate percussion sounds as they’re being produced.
