Music and the visual arts have always interacted with one another in New York.  It was here that the sound of the Velvet Underground was born in the vicinity of Andy Warhol's Factory, along with disco music at the Studio 54 and the Sonic Youth's art rock.  To celebrate New York's soul and explore the cross-contamination between music and the visual arts, the Palazzo delle Esposizioni will be hosting two exceptional concerts in the very heart of its Empire State. Art in New York Today exhibition, which is going to reverberate to the experimental sounds of three outstanding musicians:  Musica Nuda, with Petra Magoni and Ferruccio Spinetti - one the most exciting sounds for its eclecticism and originality on the Italian scene today - will be paying a tribute to American music, while Amedeo Pace, lead singer with the cult group Blonde Redhead, who was born in Italy but grew up in New York, will be playing the gripping, biting sounds of his adopted home, building a bridge between the best in Italian and American musical creativity.
