Tilted Axes: The Longest Night — Winter Solstice NYC

“Tilted Axes: The Longest Night” from 5:00-7:00pm at The Hugh plaza, 601 Lexington Avenue at E 53rd Street (Citicorp Building).

Part of Make Music New York — Make Music Winter 2023

Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars, led by composer and performer Patrick Grant, is an orchestra of guitarists who perform original, untethered music via portable mini-amps accompanied by percussionists. The project is informed by urban street band traditions, avant-garde theater and ancient music, and creates interactive spectacles that spark community conversation. The program includes three numbers — “Standing Still,” “Tiltinnabulation,” and Philip Glass’ “Knee Play 3” from Einstein on the Beach — with participatory handbell roles to transform the audience into music makers, no experience necessary. Presented in partnership with BXP.  

Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars is a project of Peppergreen Media andis powered by Vox Amplification courtesy of KORG USA. We thank our performance partners Strange Music Inc., and Alchemical Rehearsal Studios.

Taking New Music Out Into The World — The 12th season of Tilted Axes is made possible in part by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) with the support of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, the ASCAP Plus+ Awards, the NYU Tisch School of the Arts Adjunct Development Fund, but mostly through the generous support of you the public through our fiscal sponsor Fractured Atlas.
