MoMA NIGHTS -- LIVE MUSIC IN THE
SCULPTURE GARDEN


The Museum of Modern Art
11 West 53 Street
The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden

Every Thursday in July and August, 5:30-8:00 p.m.
Live music at 6:30 p.m.
The Museum is open until 8:00 p.m.
Regular Museum admission applies.

This year's music series of nine concerts draws from local and international sources with an eye to the global cross-pollination of styles and genres. A singer from Brazil takes cues from American pop, while a Congolese guitarist forms a breakthrough collaboration in Paris. A tribute to an avant-garde avatar borrows a Japanese form of poetry and involves 100 composers, and a musical legend from Sierra Leone mixes it up with bandmates in Brooklyn.
