City of Malden Winter Festival
Phil Kline’s Unsilent Night
“Unsilent Night was created as a neighborhood party, a way for me and my friends to get together and beat the mid-winter blues during the New York holiday rush. I never thought that we would do it again, or that over the next few decades it would become the soundtrack for an almost world-wide celebration. While some of the annual Unsilent Nights are in big cities and hosted by large organizations, the smaller community events are essential. That’s why it makes me so happy to see it take root in Malden, the first town east of the Berkshires to join the party. Boston may have had one last year, but Malden led the way!” -Phil Kline
Monkeyhouse is excited to join the Clary & Cimermanis Little Free Library and its stewards (Karen, Nicole, Jason, Kwaq, & N8d-el) to participate this year in Phil Kline's Unsilent Night, a community sonic sculpture that takes place across the globe during December.
Bring your children, your friends, your neighbors, the nice lady you met at the book store yesterday and join in the festivities! Please be prepared to spend about a half hour walking outside. Our goal is to begin just after sundown, so it's going to be chilly. Bring something that can play music! Download one of Phil Kline's Unsilent Night tracks to be played along the way! Got something to light yourself up? Bring that too!
