On the Boards: Phil Kline’s Unsilent Night

“Over the course of 45 minutes, chiming and chants bounce off walls and windows transforming the coldest urban area with the warmth of musical fellowship.” — NPR

“Kline’s luminous, shimmering wash of bell tones is one of the loveliest communal new-music experiences you'll ever encounter, and it's never the same twice.” — Time Out New York

“If an avant-garde Christmas record exists, this is it.” — Stereophile

NYC composer Phil Kline’s beautiful mix of electronica and holiday caroling is performed all over the world during the December holidays. It’s non-denominational caroling for the masses. Participants need only download a free mobile device app or free music tracks via unsilentnight.com.

We’ll gather in the lobby of On the Boards, simultaneously press “play,” and hit the streets in a wash of shimmering electronica. The holiday walk lasts around 45 minutes and will conclude back at OtB with cocoa and snacks.

Families are especially invited to this event and children of all ages are welcome. No musical experience necessary.

Produced by On the Boards Ambassador James Holt.
