"Unsilent Night" is a symphonic journey where the audience is the performer.

This unique holiday tradition invites participants to play composer Phil Kline’s Unsilent Night on boomboxes or portable speakers, weaving a soundscape that echoes through the darkness of winter.

No two performances are alike—each one shaped by the people, the streets and the surrounding environment. It’s a moment where music, togetherness, and the quiet beauty of the season blend into something unforgettable.

“Immerses the listener in suspended wonderment, as if time itself had paused inside a string of jingle bells.”

— THE NEW YORK TIMES

“The effect of Kline's music is gorgeous. Bell sounds lap up against buildings and ricochet all around, and the nondenominational spirit of it can warm even the coldest of hearts.”

— THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

“A dreamy fruitcake of parts, tranquil even through its anarchy.”

— LOS ANGELES TIMES

“A taste of what it’s like to be a snowflake, drifting euphorically through shared, crystalline space.”

— AIR MAIL

“During the procession, the sense of wonder spreads outward as onlookers are enveloped in a nebula of phosphorescent sound”

— THE NEW YORK TIMES

“Kline’s score, like toy chimes floating on the cold air, brings magic to the long, dark winter nights.”

— THE NEW YORK POST
