Discovery Channel :: News :: 639-Year Concert Lets Loose 2nd Chord
Topic: Miscellaneous 3:35 pm EST, Jan  9, 2006

Jan. 5, 2006 — A new chord was scheduled to sound Thursday in the world's slowest and longest lasting concert that is taking a total 639 years to perform.

The abandoned Buchardi church in Halberstadt, eastern Germany, is the venue for a mind-boggling 639-year-long performance of a piece of music by U.S. experimental composer John Cage (1912-1992).

I like slow things. Building an organ throughout the process of playing a concert? Neat.
