On January 20th, 2017, all-star musicians from throughout the experimental and jazz communities of NYC will come together for a marathon fundraiser concert/dance party in the acoustically intimate Mary Flagler Cary Hall at the The DiMenna Center for Classical Music. The concert is FREE to attend, and will provide laptop stations for attendees to donate funds for institutions that uphold America’s democracy and diversity including ACLU, LAMBDA Legal, Planned Parenthood, Southern Poverty Law Center, Hollaback!, and more. Representatives from organizations will be in attendance.
ICE SELECTIONS INCLUDE:
Jason Eckardt: The Silenced (excerpt)--Claire Chase Skypes in from Switzerland!
Pauline Oliveros: Rock Piece and 100 Meeting Places

Join us in our response to the current political climate for a night of positive action, deep listening, ecstatic sound, and community.
FREE - attendees are encouraged to donate to their preferred social activist organizations - credit cards accepted via laptop stations.
Attendees are invited, but not required, to participate in a potluck of snacks to sustain us as we listen and dance and donate the night away.
Co-curated and co-produced by Jason Eckardt, Lainie Fefferman, John Glover, and Jascha Narveson
