Opening night of the Zurich meets New York festival, the Collegium Novum Zurich played live music to four DADA inspired silent films and one film from the 40ies. A very rare treat indeed and one I enjoyed thoroughly; a feast for the senses.
The YouTube videos below do not feature the music of Collegium Novum Zurich, but you get the idea.
