COMPOSER PHIL KLINE’S WALKING SYMPHONY ‘UNSILENT NIGHT’
RETURNS TO NORTH ADAMS AS PART OF DECEMBER’S FIRST FRIDAYS
"It's like a Christmas caroling party except that we don't sing, but rather carry boomboxes, each playing a separate tape or CD which is part of the piece. In effect, we become a city-block-long stereo system." - Phil Kline

Community members of all ages are invited to gather starting at 5:30 p.m. and encouraged to dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes, bring a flashlight or lantern, and think creatively about sound amplification: using boomboxes, phones, Bluetooth speakers, or other creative amplified sound devices (the louder the better!) Download the music tracks in advance online (www.unsilentnight.com/download) or via the Unsilent Night app.

A limited number of Kline’s vintage boomboxes and cassette tapes will be available for use on a first-come, first-served basis.
