ICE presents the world premiere of Wojtek Blecharz's Music for Invisible Places, an OpenICE commission. Berlin-based Blecharz, who has workshopped the piece over several installations with ICE at Abrons, is a polyglot performer with long experience in intermedia. The new, transporting work, for a subset of ICE, is ideally suited to the open performance spaces at Abrons.
