Hallucination City: Symphony for 100 Guitars is a symphony of transformative beauty by New York composer Glenn Branca.
Orginally commissioned by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and performed at the World Trad Centre in 2001, Branca piece works one hundred specifically recruited electric guitarists to create an epic, loud yet utterly moving symphony of massed guitar tones.
In Dublin, like at all other performances, one hundred local guitarists are invited to perform the piece with Glenn Branca. A unique event, Hallucination City: Symphony for 100 Guitars will be performed in London, Berlin, Bologna and Rome and Dublin in summer 2007.
By the way the pronunciation of Glenn’s name is “Brang-ka” not “Bron-ka”.
