The Time Out New York #1 Critics' Pick for music this week, Unsound Festival New York enters its second phase of performances, workshops, and discussions TONIGHT, following an exciting week of Unsound Festival New York LABS that was largely focused on new cross-border collaborations.

TONIGHT Unsound presents its largest event to date at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall. Presented with Sacrum Profanum, Unsound's sister festival from Krakow and organized with the Krakow Festival Office and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, this official Unsound Festival opening night event will feature the New York debut of one of Europe's great chamber orchestras, Sinfonietta Cracovia, performing work by Steve Reich, Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki, and the USA debut of "We Don't Need Other Worlds. We Need Mirrors - Music for Solaris" - a special Unsound commission from Ben Frost, Daníel Bjarnason and Sinfonietta Cracovia, with film manipulations by Brian Eno and Nick Robertson.

The celebrated Polish composer Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki died in 2010. Known for the hugely popular Symphony No.3, his work ranges from radical modernism to the deeply romantic. On Thursday April 7th at the Judson Memorial Church we will have a chance to hear Gorecki performed by Sinfonietta Cracovia, which had a close relationship to the composer. Norwegian duo Deaf Center opens, fusing electronics and acoustic instruments. The concert is presented with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.

Unsound Festival New York is presented by Fundacja Tone, the Polish Cultural Institute in New York and Goethe-Institut New York.

In cooperation with The Trust For Mutual Understanding, The Adam Mickiewicz Institute, City of Krakow, Krakow Festival Office, 6 Senses, Austrian Cultural Forum in New York, Instituto Cervantes New York, Consulate General of Finland in New York, Royal Consulate of Norway New York, Pro Helvetia and others.
