Before entering the concert hall, the audience must put their technological devices in a case. Then, they are invited to sit in the hall 30 minutes before the concert starts, while wearing noise-canceling headphones. These initiatives, led by artist Marina Abramović, aim to prepare the audience to listen carefully to Bach’s The Goldberg Variations, performed by pianist Igor Levit at the Drill Hall on Armory Avenue in New York.
