The 2016-17 OpenICE season launches September 16 - 18 at the Abrons Arts Center with a celebration of vastly different styles of performance.  OpenICE invites the audience to participate in the creative process through open rehearsals and discussions, where questions about the works and the collaborations are welcome and encouraged.  Be sure to join us for meet-and-greet receptions over the course of the weekend!

ICE's Erik Carlson (violin) and Dan Lippel (guitar) will present the rarely-heard 4 messages for violin and guitar which is four hours in duration. The work will be split into four, one-hour parts; 11am, 1pm, 3pm, and 5pm. These spare and austere performances will take place in the galleries of the Abrons Arts Center.
