One can only imagine how their Christmas will be like this year.<br \/>\nFor this one of a kind celebration, musicians from all corners of New York City will join forces to raise money and awareness of this tragic disaster and send out a gift to the people in need.<\/p>\n<p>The Pookestra (directed by Carolin Pook) and the Downtown Avengers (curated by Fung Chern Hwei) follow the same musical vision of gathering adventurous improvisers with different musical backgrounds to create a beautifully coherent sonic experience. Every member of the Pookestra will be featured as a soloist with their favorite Christmas song, and the Downtown Avengers -as always- will take the audience on a wild journey to wherever the music leads them.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the event, please visit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shapeshifterlab.com\/portfolio\/dec-21-the-pookestra-and-the-rise-of-the-downtown-avengers-a-christmas-gift-for-the-typhoon-haiyan-victums\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.shapeshifterlab.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday, December 21, 2013, 8:00 PM Shape Shifter Lab 18 Whitwell Pl, Brooklyn, NY 11215<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36932","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36932"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36932\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36938,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36932\/revisions\/36938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
