On Monday, June 21, Q2 needs you--the tech-savvy, community-building army of New York New Music mavens--to help report on what will surely be the surreal and intense performance of Iannis Xenakis' Persephassa on the Boating Lake in Central Park.

Xenakis expert and contemporary music heavyweight Douglas Perkins will be a participating percussionist for Persephassa, part of the sprawling Make Music New York: Xenakis in Central Park happening on Monday, June 21 at the Central Park Boating Lake. It's a full afternoon of outdoor performances by the trailblazing Greek composer, featuring the bombastic Persephassa, for six percussionists, who will surround audience members experiencing the piece in floating rowboats on the lake!
