This flyer and program for A Concert of New Music, organized in 1960 by theatrical lighting designer Nicola Cernovich and dancer-choreographer James Waring at the Living Theatre in New York, reflects the multidisciplinary dialogue that took place among the downtown New York avant-garde at the time. As the program indicates, George Brecht’s Card-Piece for Voice (1959) and Candle-Piece for Radios (1959) were included in the program alongside contributions from Allan Kaprow, Robert Rauschenberg, Ray Johnson, Richard Maxfield, and John Cage. There was even a sculpture by Al Hansen installed in the lobby.
