Biophony Pop-Up NYC 2022
Expanding Community Access
May 15—June 21, 2022
Locations across New York City
New Yorkers were invited to discover our collective’s musicians and composers as they were dispatched to dozens of pedetrian plazas, open-streets, public parks, and community squares for free pop-up concerts across New York City.
We proudly partnered with NYC Department of Transportation to bring Biophony to areas in the city that are rarely offered new music, uniting neighbors and artists together at locally-relevant locations. Metropolis featured hundreds of musicians across the city, performing the newly-commissioned works of 103 composers.
Biophony Pop-Up NYC 2022 is presented by Metropolis Ensemble in collaboration with NYC Department of Transportation, with additional support from Make Music New York. Biophony is made possible in part by the New York State Council on the Arts, New York City Cultural Affairs, The Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation, The Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller Fund, and a constellation of generous donors and foundations.
