Join the Whitney for performances by Flore Laurentienne at Free Friday Nights, co-presented by Brooklyn-based performance venue and community space Public Records.
Rooted in the Québec landscape and inspired by the vastness of the St. Lawrence River, Flore Laurentienne’s music—a harmonious blend of strings and analog synthesizers—takes listeners on a journey to the edge of the sublime, where they find themselves both fragile and powerful, suspended between vulnerability and wonder.
Flore Laurentienne draws inspiration from contrasting worlds: the melodic clarity and counterpoint of Johann Sebastian Bach; the narrative intensity and progressive audacity of King Crimson; and the electronic minimalism of Hans-Joachim Roedelius. From this unexpected encounter at the crossroads of classical, progressive, and experimental music, a dense and generous sound emerges, with unapologetic lyricism and dynamic textures.
Admission is free to all visitors every Friday evening from 5–10 pm. In addition to music, join us for world-class exhibitions of contemporary American art, cocktails with views at Studio Bar, and more.
