Wall to Wall Bach
In the beginning it was Wall to Wall. This year, as Symphony Space celebrates its 30th season, we pay tribute to the very first Wall to Wall which opened the doors of the boarded-up theater to the public and offered a marathon of music by Bach. Our annual gift to the city offers, once again, a Bach feast in collaboration with the American Symphony Orchestra (under the baton of Maestro Leon Botstein) and a slew of artists performing Preludes, Fugues, Cantatas, Suites, Concerti, Sonatas and more, concluding with a resounding performance of the B minor Mass. Part of Upper West fest.
Admission is free and on a first-come,
first-served basis throughout the day, with general admission at 10:30, 1:30,
4:30, and 7:30, as well as other times as seats become available. There is a
priority admission line for Symphony Space
members.
To help underwrite production expenses and
to make it possible for those who cannot wait in line to attend,
32 to 48 seats (out
of 760) are made available to contributors for each segment of the marathon.
Contributors are also invited to the dress rehearsal of the B minor Mass on
Thursday, May 15.
Support Wall to Wall Bach and reserve a seat here.

Trying to listen on-line

I couldn't find a way to the Wall to Wall Bach. I was under the impresion that this site would stream the concert live. Have I been misinformed? I really wanted to hear the Artemis Chamber group. Please let know if this is possible.
thanks,

Listening online

I have spent 15 minutes trying to listen the part of Wall to Wall live, but with no success. Somehow it should be easier to figure out. My system works fine because I listen to other sites. The event live has been wonderful, but I can't sit there for 12 1/2 hours. Please let me know how I could have listened live at home, with precise instructions step by step.
Thank you,
Marshall Kaplan
