Avant-garde! Moscow-Saint Petersburg-New York. In the 20s of the last century, an unprecedented longing for innovation developed in the young Soviet Union. Art and music would be concurrent to the new society. After a flourishin period the neophilia soon came to an end. Ultra-modernism developed in New York in which all borders were demolished in a thrilling, utterly dissonant language. In ‘The Night’, an excursion into the music of the 20s. Music by artists such as Roslavetz, Mossolov, Protopopov, Rudhyar and Crawford-Seeger.
