The Point Counterpoint Project

Can we put music back on the rivers?

The American Wind Symphony sent Point Counterpoint II — a floating stage and canopy designed by architect Louis I. Kahn — down the great rivers, commissioning new works for the wind band and playing for towns that had never seen anything of the kind.

People who were there tend to describe it the same way: the most singular experience of their musical lives.

We don’t think it’s a concept that should be abandoned. So we’re taking the first honest steps — carefully, in the right order — and, before anything else, trying to find each other again.

It’s early days. This page is simply the front door: a place to reconnect and to say you’d like to hear more.

Find each other again

Add your name, and we’ll be in touch. No commitment — just a hello.

Thank you.

You’re on the list. We’ll be in touch — and glad to have found you.
