Join Unsilent Night !
Phil Kline's public sound sculpture Unsilent Night is created when many individuals simultaneously play one of four tracks on cassette or mobile devices. The tracks blast through a roving swarm of boomboxes and speakers carried through city streets, creating “a shimmering mass of music that may thaw even the most frozen holiday hearts” (THE WALL STREET JOURNAL).
Below are guidelines on how to participate in your local performance. Check out the ever-evolving 2024 schedule to see if one is planned in your area. If you want to start your own, contact us!
