Standard Time

0 upcoming performances in New York

Standard Time is an ensemble project that treats timekeeping less as science than as a social agreement, tracing how shared clocks reshaped daily life, travel, and labor. It sets the idea of “standard” time against the seasonal detour of daylight saving, turning a technical system into a story about coordination and power. At Carnegie Hall, the group’s music-forward approach sits alongside Michael Feinstein’s American Songbook stewardship, placing historical memory in conversation with civic-minded performance. The critical point is simple: the piece shows how a universal schedule can still carry local consequences.
