Dal Niente: Party 2014

Dal Niente first unveiled The Party in 2012 as a communal experience that casts away some of the concert hall's conventions in order to bring listeners together in a new way. During Dal Niente: Party 2014, people can sit where and how they want; they can stand, lie down, choose what to listen to at any particular moment, relax, move, talk, drink, eat. Most importantly, they can listen to music together -- the experience is the antithesis of listening to music through earbuds plugged into your head as you sit alone staring at a computer screen. Dal Niente: Party 2014 brings together stylistically diverse and uniquely brilliant composers' music for you to encounter, examine and share in one unforgettable evening.
