An excuse to make a lot of noise

Megaphonists

My talented friend Avi Wisnia has arranged a musical festival of sorts on Sunday, June 21st at Union Square that brings in a motley crew of musicians handpicked by Mr. Wisnia himself to perform pieces that are arranged or improvised with no instruments. Just their voices and megaphones. Thats right, those cone-shaped things that cheerleaders (ok who am I kidding, cheerleaders aren’t really cheer leaders) use to get crowds riled up before sporting events in Suburbia.

“Under the direction of creator and ensemble director Avi Wisnia, the musical performance will combine elements of traditional choral music with pop, hip hop, and spoken word.”

I will also be dancing (improvising along) with the musicians on Sunday. Should be a fun time in Union Square.
