About Look + Listen Festival

Called “a winning formula” by The New York Times, the Look + Listen Festival catalyzes dialogue between art forms. Look + Listen features music and art created and performed by the finest established and emerging artists. It was founded in 2002 by David Gordon, who was inspired by a concert of music by Joan Tower at the DIA Center.

Since then, the Festival has presented such extraordinary musicians as the Bang on a Can All Stars, eighth blackbird, JACK Quartet, Brooklyn Rider, Phyllis Chen, Claire Chase, So Percussion, Meredith Monk, the Tyshawn Sorey Trio, and Angélica Negrón. Look + Listen takes place at partner venues throughout the city, which in recent years have included BRIC House, Chelsea Art Museum, Pratt Manhattan Gallery, Robert Miller Gallery, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and The Invisible Dog Art Center.
