Jherek Bischoff's Silent Orchestra: Cistern

What: On August 21 and 22 on the Broadway Plaza between 43rd and 44th Streets, Jherek Bischoff's Silent Orchestra will perform music from Bischoff's latest album Cistern on electronic orchestral instruments and stream through 400 sets of wireless headphones. To passersby, the ensemble will be completely silent; those who have headphones will be treated to an orchestral concert in the middle of Times Square – a spectacular way to perform music without violating the noise code. The finale of the concert will be synchronized with a screening of Bischoff's video for “Cistern,” broadcast on numerous screens throughout Times Square. Jherek Bischoff's Silent Orchestra features musicians from one of NYC's finest ensembles, Contemporaneous. The public is invited to arrive at 11pm both nights and the program will run until midnight.
