Better brew yourself some strong coffee. Even at the worst of times, the city never sleeps.
Cellist Jan Vogler has solicited commitments from dozens of his musician friends and colleagues, all stir crazy and eager to share, to participate in a 24-hour marathon, “Music Never Sleeps.”
Performers will include Joshua Bell, Jeremy Denk, Bela Fleck, Jennifer Koh, Midori, Nico Muhly, Gil Shaham, Orli Shaham, Chris Thile, Brooklyn Rider, The Knights, Sandbox Percussion, Time for Three, and many others. Charitable causes will be announced, and viewers will be encouraged to contribute, if they can, to the well-being of New York City’s artists. Social distancing will be strictly observed.
The marathon will be live streamed on Facebook, YouTube, and other social media platforms, beginning tonight at 6 p.m. You’ll find more information at musicneversleepsnyc.com.
