2 hours
In honor of the station’s 85th anniversary, WNYC: Transitions and Transformations, presents a sonic celebration of the station’s history as reflected by its life in the historical Municipal Building at 1 Centre Street, and its new home in Hudson Square. The station’s stars and staff share favorite memories; quirky characters; haunting sounds; and their visions of the future, including David Garland, Host of Evening Music, who provides a glimpse of 1924, featuring epoch-defining music from 1924: George Anteil’s Ballet Mecanique, George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, Giacomo Puccini’s Turandot, and Jelly Roll Morton’s Big Foot Ham and Bucktown Blues. Featuring: Alicia and Jason Moran, Marta Eggerth, Dave Burrell and Matthew Marks. Join us for a champagne toast at 6 pm.

Making Visible the Invisible
New York City is a raw, unbridled and unique symphonic and polyrhythmic sonic landscape, but WHAT DOES THE NEW YORK CITY SOUNDSCAPE LOOK LIKE? Hit us with your best shot and your photo could become a significant part of a city-wide photographic collaboration this August 2010 at The Greene Space.
WNYC's The Greene Space is the place for the Battle of the Boroughs, a showdown series designed to bring out the best undiscovered bands and ensembles of all genres, instrumentalists, singers, DJs, spoken word artists and performance artists in the five boroughs. Several acts from each borough were selected to perform and compete to represent their borough in the Ultimate Battle of the Boroughs, where one act will win a concert in The Greene Space.
