The performance builds on ideas from his current installation Midtown Sound: Listening Legacy, tracing shifting urban soundscapes and the enduring debate over what counts as music and what counts as noise.Leonard will be joined by Román Díaz, Diego López, Rafael Monteagudo, and Uri Caine.40th and Madison is a composition based on Leonard’s investigation of his family archive and articles on his grandfather, acoustician Paul J. Washburn, from period journals. In the video, Leonard reflects on how three generations in his family approached listening, and how this research at THE BLANC shaped a deeper awareness of his own identity. On the centennial of the first scientific noise measurements in New York City, the work questions modes of collective listening in our time and explores noise as a cultural construction.In Jasmine Midtown, Leonard revisits the original song on the opera’s 100th anniversary, incorporating newly commissioned performances by guest artists. Leonard invites soprano Junhua Chen to reimagine the folkloric melody and its impact on Western music in a new composition for electronics and saxophone.Event DetailsMidtown LiveConcert of new works for saxophone, electronics, and videoMay 1, 8:00 PMTHE BLANC, New York - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/midtown-live/100001987266171615 - **Event Categories**: Entertainment, Music, Concerts, Art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 25, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: 15 E 40th St #12f - **lat**: 40.7518084 - **long**: -73.9806684 - **full address**: 15 E 40th St #12f, 15 East 40th Street, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Midtown Live - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/90d0cc16bf11b888a6d649907273da54880990b7924279593af33566d433f5e0-rimg-w1200-h1508-dc000000-gmir.jpg?v=1776658911 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Midtown Live being held? - **A:** Midtown Live takes place on Fri, 01 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 01 May, 2026 at 09:30 pm at 15 E 40th St #12f, 15 East 40th Street, New York, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Midtown Live? - **A:** Midtown Live is organized by theBLANC. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
