The 1:1 CONCERTS, which took place this past weekend and will happen again next weekend, offer one person at a time the chance to experience an intimate 10-minute program performed by a single musician, across a number of wholly unique spaces in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Between the isolation and the cavernous surroundings, it s a surreal and somewhat overwhelming experience.

Being led through the mostly empty industrial landscape made it all feel like some top secret experimental program.
