About this concert
The Town Hall is honored to present a landmark collaboration between The Kronos Quartet and the Ghost Train Orchestra. Moondog aka Louis Hardin, was one of the 20th centurys most imaginative composers. He lived in NYC from the late 40s up until 1972 during which time he could be found costumed in Viking attire busking on 6th Avenue and 52nd Street selling records and performing poetry. Blinded as a teenager he wrote hundreds of beautiful songs madrigals and symphoniques in Braille which inspired minimalist composers such as Philip Glass and Steve Reich who deemed Moondog the godfather of minimalism. With their new record Songs and Symphoniques Kronos Quartet now in their 5th decade and NYCs Ghost Train Orchestra reimagined the work of Moondog into a large scale production inviting many special guest vocalists to take a variety of approaches to Moondogs music. Ghost Train Orchestra and Kronos Quartet present their Album Release Show at The Town Hall.
