“Asphalt Orchestra’s shows are driven by its virtuosic and uniquely physical music performance,” a press release from the band said. “Innovative use of the stage, hall, or surrounding landscape by a band not chained to instruments and equipment that normally limit musicians’ mobility, the choreographed performance knows few boundaries. Along the way, Asphalt Orchestra explores and reveals a new form altogether – a mobile-musical-dramatic ensemble, bringing their unstoppable sound and exceptional talent to the stage.”

The band will be performing works by Frank Zappa, David Byrne and Annie Clark, Tatsuya Yoshida, Björk and Goran Bregovic, as well as new music by members of the ensemble.

Tickets are $10 and available online. For more information, residents should call 914-524-6545.

The Pocantico Center is located at 200 Lake Road in Pocantico Hills. The concert's rain date is Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
