The second It Came from Brooklyn concert will take place September 25, 2009, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum with performances by Julian Plenti (aka Paul Banks of Interpol) and I'm In You and readings by authors Rivka Galchen and Hampton Fancher. Comedian Eugene Mirman will serve as the MC for the evening.
It Came from Brooklyn, the new concert series showcasing Brooklyn's emerging and established talents in the fields of music and literature was conceived by coproducers Sam Brumbaugh and Bronwyn Keenan as part of the museum's 50th Anniversary celebrations. The title of the series references Robert Gordon's book It Came from Memphis, which details the birth of rock-n-roll in the 1950s.
Each program takes place in the famed Frank Lloyd Wright-designed rotunda and features live bands, literary readings, and comedy from 8 pm to 12 am. Audiences also have the opportunity to visit select sections of the Vasily Kandinsky retrospective on view this fall.
Tickets will be on sale through 6 pm on September 25th.
Any remaining tickets will be sold on a stand-by basis onsite beginning at 8 pm.
