Back in 2007 we talked to Ronen Givony, who had just started up the Wordless Music Series. One month later, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood was talking to us about participating in the series, and this year the series turns 5 years old. Their anniversary announcement landed in our inbox with some big names attached to it, namely Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel, and Jonny Greenwood (back for an encore). The next season will begin in September, but there are also some shows left for the current season. Details below for all NYC shows can be found here, but here are the two big ones for the East Coast—tickets on sale this weekend.
- On September 9th, Jeff Mangum will play the Sanders Theatre at Harvard University, and on the 10th at Jordan Hall at New England Conservatory. Tickets are on sale tomorrow, right here.
- As part of a performance installation at the Guggenheim Museum with artist Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, you'll be able to hear the U.S. premiere of Jonny Greenwood's "Doghouse" for large orchestra and string trio AND the New York premiere of Philip Glass, David Bowie, and Brian Eno's Symphony No. 4 ("Heroes"). Tickets on sale now, right here (5/20) and here (5/21).
And don't forget: Jeff Mangum tickets for his Town Hall show go on sale today at 11 a.m. We already have our browser opened.
