The Strange Library treats the public library as a performance cabinet: stacks, whispers, footsteps, and musical specimens set under glass for one night.

Specimen Notes

The series spreads performers through library spaces so visitors encounter music as they move through stacks, reading rooms, and public corridors.

Performance History

The project appeared in the 2025 Library Series at Jefferson Market Library and the NYPL Library for the Performing Arts.
