MUSEUM MILE FESTIVAL Asphalt Orchestra at Jewish Museum Tuesday, June 10, 2014, 6pm-9pm Asphalt Orchestra, Bang on a Can’s exhilarating marching band, will perform outside the Jewish Museum during the Museum Mile Festival. Asphalt Orchestra’s shows are driven by its virtuosic and uniquely physical music performance. Making innovative use of the stage, hall, or surrounding landscape, and not chained to instruments and equipment that normally limit musicians’ mobility, the band’s choreographed performances know few boundaries. The band brings together some of the most exciting rock, jazz, and classical players in New York City who The New York Times called “12 top-notch brass and percussion players.” Since its debut, stretching 10 packed nights at Lincoln Center Out of Doors in New York over the summers of 2009 and 2010, Asphalt Orchestra has performed throughout the U.S. and Canada, at London’s Barbican Centre, the TED Women conference in Washington D.C., New Yorks Alice Tully Hall and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and more. Asphalt Orchestra comes to the Jewish Museum fresh from collaborations with David Byrne and St. Vincent, Yoko Ono and Goran Bregovic, and from covering Björk, The Pixies, Zappa, Mingus, and Meshuggah. Now celebrating its 36th year, the annual Museum Mile Festival takes place on Tuesday, June 10, 2014, from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Festival attendees can walk the Mile on Fifth Avenue between 82nd Street and 105th Street while visiting nine of New York City’s finest cultural institutions, which are open free to the public throughout the evening
