Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK
SOUNDWALK is a location-based public artwork that uses GPS technology to layer original music by Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Ellen Reid with archival Juilliard performances. Juilliard commissioned this expansion to connect Lincoln Center to Central Park along Broadway, offering a sonic journey through the city’s urban landscape. Visitors can access SOUNDWALK via a free mobile app and experience new perspectives on nature and sound with every walk.
