NEW YORK — Last night, passersby at Times Square were treated to the sight of close to 200 people standing in the middle of the plaza singing classical choral music. (Soundcheck’s technical director Irene Trudel was one of the sopranos.) Our friends at NPR Music had asked Philip Glass to turn his song “New Rule,” originally for soprano solo and instrumental ensemble, into a choral piece. That version had its premiere, right there in Times Square.
But it’s what happened after the Glass premiere that made this event so memorable.
