Composer Rhys Chatham and section leaders John King, Ned Sublette, David Daniell, and Seth Olinsky (Akron/Family) lead an oversized orchestra* of 200 volunteer electric guitarists and bassists in the world premiere of A Crimson Grail for 200 Electric Guitars (Outdoor Version), performed not on the bandshell stage but along the sides of the audience at Damrosch Park, to heighten the work's polyphonic effect. The work, originally composed for Paris' famed Sacré-Coeur, has been extensively revised to suit the dynamics of the park's outdoor acoustic.

*Includes members, alumni, and collaborators of: The Modern Lovers, Reagan Youth, Akron/Family, Pussy Galore, Oneida, Parts and Labor, Glenn Branca's Hallucination City and Symphony 13 for 100 Guitars, Band of Susans, Damo Suzuki, Thurston Moore, Taj Mahal, Love as Laughter, Ex Models, The Depreciation Guild, Maxi Geil & Playcolt, Merzbow, Panthers, Cloudland Canyon, Shock Cinema, The Hidden Cameras, Vietnam, Indian Jewelry, usaisamonster, Saxon Shore, Face the Music, Daughters, San Agustin, Magik Markers, and The Natural History, as well as the Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, Berklee College of Music, Northwestern University Classical Guitar Ensemble, NY Symphonic Arts Ensemble, and the P.S. 180 Guitar Group.
