Description: |
Larson Legacy Concert: Cesar Alvarez at Adelphi University Performing Arts Center Garden City, Nassau County, Long Island, New York.
The latest Larson Legacy Concert at the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center (AUPAC) is an exciting workshop production of Cesar Alvarez's new musical, NOISE. The concert will take place on Sunday, February 19, 2017 at 3:00PM in the Olmsted Theatre in the AUPAC, 1 South Avenue, Garden City, New York.
A workshop production of the new musical NOISE. NOISE, a new musical, is inspired by a strange little piece of critical theory, which proposes that music, as the organization of noise, was the earliest expression of civilization. And if music precedes all forms of political economy, it follows that we should be able to make a musical which designs a new and better society. While NOISE may not succeed in generating an entirely new society, it does offer some radical kindness in the package of an absurd little musical. NOISE was commissioned and given a workshop production by Playwrights Horizons Theater School at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.
