80 trombones at The Guggenheim?
June 26, 2009 8:01 PM

What in the heck did THAT sound like?

Frank Lloyd Wright might never have anticipated this. But the rotunda of his late masterpiece the Guggenheim Museum -- which opened in 1959, six months after his death -- is an ideal place to perform one of the most mesmerizing and eclectic musical works ever written: "Orbits" for 80 trombones, soprano and organ by the Montreal-born American composer Henry Brant.

Interesting? ...or too...shall we say...brassy?
