The installation of LEMURs (League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots) all-mechanical Ballet mécanique orchestra is being presented in conjunction with the National Gallery's exhibition on Dada. George Antheil's amazing 1924 "Ballet mécanique," composition was originally written for three xylophones, four bass drums, tam-tam, two pianists, seven (or so) electric bells, a siren, three airplane propellers and sixteen synchronized player pianos. It is the first time in history that an all-mechanical version of "Ballet mécanique" is being performed.
The all-mechanical orchestra will be located on the Mezzanine of the National Gallery's East Building, next to the entrance to the Dada exhibition hall. Twice daily the orchestra will roar into action. Performance times are 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm on weekdays.
