Works & Process at the Guggenheim participates for the second time in Make Music New York (MMNY)—the largest free city-wide music festival event following in the footsteps of Paris’ Fete de la Musique. This years theme, “Mass Appeal,” inspired Works & Process to pay tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright and the 50th anniversary of the Guggenheim by presenting the long awaited east coast premiere of Henry Brant’s seminal work ORBITS (1979), a spatial symphonic ritual for 80 trombone players, soprano and organ conducted by Neely Bruce. The planned positioning of the performers throughout the ramps inside the rotunda will constitute a musical celebration of Wright’s iconic architecture. Henry Brant (1913-2008) won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2002.
FREE and open to the public—rotunda floor access only. In conjunction with the exhibition Frank Lloyd Wright: From Within Outward on view through August 23.
