FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mobtown Modern Goes Guerilla for Summer Spectacle
Saturday, July 18, 2009
3:00 p.m.
The Metro Gallery
1700 North Charles Street
Station North Arts and Entertainment District, Baltimore
The Contemporary Museum’s Mobtown Modern concert series will take New Music to the streets with an interactive performance of composer Mauricio Kagel’s Eine Brise (‘A Breeze’) for 111 bicyclists, on Saturday, July 18, 2009 at 3 p.m.
Riders will begin and end their trek at The Metro Gallery in the Station North Arts and Entertainment District. The posse of performers will use bells, horns, and utterances and whistling to replicate the sounds of a crisp breeze during their “round the block” performance. Eine Brise begins with jingling to announce the coming breeze, climaxing with a crescendo of a frenzied chorus of “wind sound” vocalizations from performers.
Anyone with a bicycle and a bell or horn is invited to participate in this guerilla-style music making experience. To participate, e-mail info@mobtownmodern.com. Space is limited.

From organizers:
Dear All,
Thank you for your interest in performing Mauricio Kagel’s "Eine Brise" as
a part of Mobtown Modern’s Summer Spectacle. This will take place
tomorrow!
Meet at the Metro Gallery, where at 3pm we’ll stage and instructions will
be given. Plan ahead and arrive early since parking will most definitely
be an issue because of the Artscape festivities.
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
Best,
Brian
