This is another chance to hear a rare musical instrument – the “aluminum piano” designed by Francois and Bernard Baschet, and owned by the Museum of Contemporary Art. The performance will last about 45 minutes and is part of  “Motor Cocktail: Sound and Movement Art of the 1960s,” an exhibition that runs through October, curated by Timothy Grundy.
