Roulette will be opening up its new concert hall in Downtown Brooklyn for this 2 day John Cage MUSICIRCUS. Come! June 4th & 5th 1:00 – 6:00 PM FREE http://roulette.org/specialevents/musicircus2011/ for more info. Full Lineup TBA! Over 30 Artists. A carnival of all things experimental, the Roulette MUSICIRCUS brings a cornucopia of musicians, dancers, video artists, and performance artists from all corners of New York City's artistic community together for a celebration of chaos and and the harmonies of simultaneity. This is the first public event in Roulette's new space! We dont officially open our doors until mid-September – so this is your first chance to see our new concert hall! First performed in 1967, John Cage's MUSICIRCUS is simply an invitation for performers to assemble and play together – a "happening" where multiple performances occur simultaneously to create new and unusual configurations. A collage of genres and forms, the Roulette MUSICIRCUS will unfold over the course of two full day events, with the audience invited to wander freely and choose their own sonic and visual relationships. This will be the first event in Roulette's newly renovated, wonderful space, and is presented as Roulette's contribution to the Atlantic Ave Art Walk.

ROULETTE 509 Atlantic Ave (at 3rd Ave) 2, 3, 4, 5, C, G, D, M, N, R, B & Q trains and the LIRR www.roulette.org "seen from a particular point of view, music is simply the art of focusing attention on one thing at a time. In my works, I have tried not to focus the attention on one thing at a time, and have used this principle that I call "musicircus"- of having many things going on at once; the simultaneity of unrelated intentions."
