Unsilent Night in Middlesbrough (UK) will take place on Sunday 7th December 2008. This year’s procession will include a lantern parade involving local school children and a spectacular finale event called Winter Lights, a specially commissioned event featuring fire and lights.

We hope you can join us there at 4.00pm on Sunday 7th December. 

Baltimore Unsilent Nighters may have noticed a mysterious man giving a play-by-play of the evening’s activities into a small handheld recording device. It turns out that our interloper was none other than Ed Schrader, whose Feedback article appears in this week’s CityPaper.

Hey Everybody,

The SF Bay Guardian got its info wrong — Unsilent Night has already happened this year, on December 22.

Unsilent Night is NOT HAPPENING tonight. (December 31)

See you next year!

All best,

Colin Berry
Producer, USNSF

Baltimoreans who might be trolling this site are invited to joing the Unsilent Baltimore Flickr Group to contribute photos from the event. If you don’t have a Flickr account, we’d love to include your photos; just send them along in a nice email.

Merry Christmas!

Baltimore’s 2nd annual performance of Phil Kline’s amibient Christmas masterpiece Unsilent Night took place last night and was by all accounts a smashing success. We had a record crowd of nearly 100 totally awesome participants. New for the 2007 edition of Unsilent Night in Baltimore was the summoning of aliens as we gathered in a circle around the infamous Male/Femal sculpture in front of Penn Station; convincing the Amtrak police that we were the “carolers” they were expecting and we did indeed know where to stage—after sharing the joy with everyone in the train station; and making our way in and then out of the lobby of the Charles Theater. Many thanks again to all the folks who helped out and spread the word about this year’s event. We’ll see everyone again next year!

P.s. Some photos of the event can be had here. And, by the way, if you came out last night and took some photos and would like to share them, that would be great. Just send me an email!

The batteries were all placed in the boombox with care . . . It’s the day before Unsilent Night in Baltimore and we’re ready to go. The press has been rolling in:

• Baltimore City Paper: Critic’s Pick
• Baltimore Sun: The Free Sheet
• Washington Post: The Scene (scroll down)

Though it won’t be as cold as last year, it’s still going to be a bit chilly. Those who brave the cold can look forward to warming up with some grog at Joe Squared at the Unsilent After Party following the event, where Hybrid Groove Project and DJ Dubble8 will warm things up as well. (We tried to get this guy on the bill, but he was booked already.)

Unslient Night besteht aus vier 45minütigen Samples, die parallel abgespielt werden. Wir werden am Abend CDs und Kassetten mit den Samples verteilen. Unter folgendem Link, können die Samples aber auch schon vorab als Mp3-Files heruntergeladen werden: http://www.unsilentnight.com/download
