Neighborhood Concert: Alarm Will Sound

Abrons Arts Center at Henry Street Settlement
Sometimes new music is challenging; with Alarm Will Sound, it’s mind-blowing. Playing the most innovative performances of contemporary classical music with fierce talent and enjoyment, this 20-member ensemble is “as close to being a rock band as a chamber orchestra can be” (The New York Times).

This concert is part of American Mavericks, a citywide celebration of the pioneers of the American sound, presented by Carnegie Hall and San Francisco Symphony. Visit carnegiehall.org/mavericks for more information.

In the Artist's Own Words

The maverick spirit is central to American music: Many of America’s most influential voices have drawn on ideas outside the European music canon and have greatly expanded our sense of what music can be.
