New York, NY – Quintet of the Americas will present special Crystal Winter family concerts on Saturday, December 19 and Sunday, December 20 – 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM each day at the New York Hall of Science, 47-01 111th St., located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, NY.
Using sounds like colors in a winter snow fall painting, Quintet of the Americas will explore the connection of musical sounds to the look of nature. With snowflakes as its inspiration, the Quintet will take the audience on an informative and fun musical trip through sound and nature including audience participation with crystal goblets and bells. This program is presented as part of the New York Hall of Science Crystal Winter events - http://www.nysci.org/visit/calendar-of-events/event/crystalwinter09.
