5BMF’s 2020-2021 digital mainstage season continues with the premiere of “noise/SILENCE,” a new concert film featuring the daring and innovative ARGUS QUARTET, co-presented by the renowned NOGUCHI MUSEUM in Queens. Filmed on-site at the museum in early April 2021, “noise/SILENCE” explores the symbiosis of silence and sound through music inspired by and in response to the art of Isamu Noguchi, the iconic 20th century sculptor. Noguchi’s sculptures, on display at his eponymous museum, provide a stunning backdrop to the Argus Quartet’s performances of works by John Cage, Rolf Wallin, Dorothy Rudd Moore, and Paul Wiancko, who joins the quartet as a guest performer for his piece, Vox Petra.

Starring Tito Nieves, Arturo O’farrill Big Band and Eddie Palmieri Salsa Orchestra ¡Viva la Música!

Launched to stardom in 1975 when she created the iconic role of Dorothy in Broadway’s The Wiz, the ultra-soulful songstress inspires standing ovations wherever she performs. She is a legendary GRAMMY® Award-winning recording artist with five bestselling albums and ten billboard #1 singles. She’ll be joined by The Whispers, one of the longest-running R&B supergroups ever to grace the stage. They are arguably the most celebrated balladeers of their generation and are one of only a few “old school” groups that can boast of having 40+ years in the industry with all of their original members.

In March 2021, we enjoyed a wonderful variety of performers and look forward to the same in 2022. Come see and hear local actors, singers, dancers, musicians, and poets as they showcase their talents at our second annual March Medley.
