Naama Tsabar, "Composition 20," a High Line Performance

For her performance on the High Line in June 2016, Naama Tsabar presents the third iteration of “Composition 20,” inviting a group of 20 musicians to utilize their amps—which are scattered across the park’s pathway—both as a sound-amplifying source and as a pedestal to stand on. For the work, Tsabar commissions three composers to craft unique musical scores, all to be performed simultaneously by different sets of the musicians. As the musicians step up onto their amps, their collective shifting silhouette forms a sculptural composition that complements the accompanying sonic one.
