What does music look like? What does music feel like?

The invitation-only presentation will take place on April 6 at the Daryl Roth Theatre (101 East 15th Street).

The production will be presented in a unique format, bringing the audience on a sensorial journey made possible through cutting edge technology and 3D sound design, as it celebrates dance music through the last decades.
