Crosstown Brewing Co.

Phil Kline's Unsilent Night is a free outdoor participatory sound sculpture of many individual parts, recorded on cassettes, CDs, and mp3s, and played through a roving swarm of boomboxes carried through city streets every December. People bring their own boomboxes (phones with Bluetooth speakers are fine, too!) and drift peacefully through a cloud of sound, which is different from every listener's perspective. Since 1992, this 45-minute work has grown into a worldwide annual communal event that has become an essential part of many winter holiday celebrations. This is the first time for the event to take place in Memphis!

Join us as we kick off the 2019 Continuum Music Festival with a FREE pre-festival concert at the Crosstown Brewing Company!

The festival features exciting collaborations among musicians and other artists from Memphis and beyond, including a collaboration between Memphis-based Blueshift Ensemble and NYC-based composer collective Iceberg New Music.
