I read about this. Something a little different that is very cool in concept! Pressure will be on the sound system to not bring down the live performers I would think. Would love to hear this.

Maybe someone in NYC area will attend and report back and tell us about the sound system used as well as the overall performance.

It sounds way cool. Wish I could go.

I notice the larger speakers appear to be matched to the lower octave string instruments which would seem to make sense.

I know John Strohbeen is a big classical music fan and supporter of the arts and plays locally as well himself on occasion, I have read. It would be interesting to hear how well he pulls this off technically not to mention the program sounds very progressive and intriguing.
