Join in a luminous walking symphony of smart phones and mp3 players when we envelope downtown Denver with NYC composer Phil Kline’s UNSILENT NIGHT, a unique community caroling event where the audience becomes the performer. The performance takes place as a holiday stroll through the sidewalks, with each person playing one of four ambient tracks downloaded to smartphones and mp3 players. This family-friendly event is FREE and open to the public, and requires no previous musical experience to participate.

“Over the course of 45 minutes, chiming and chants bounce off walls and windows transforming the coldest urban area with the warmth of musical fellowship.”
NPR

“A marvelously fluid, traveling spatial sound sculpture that disintegrates and reforms at nearly every stop light.”
THE VILLAGE VOICE
