Antony and the Johnsons - Live @ Radio City Music Hall

Last Thursday saw Antony and the Johnsons staging their one-off performance event Swanlights at the Radio City Music Hall - as commissioned by MoMA. Just looking at these fan videos made us teary-eyed. So incredibly beautiful. Envisioned as a meditation on light, nature, and femininity they were backed by a 60-piece symphony orchestra and heavenly light and set design. In the first clip Antony speaks to MoMA PS1 Director Klaus Biesenbach and we love A's sharp intellect, not to mention all that talent in abundance. It's hard to fathom the shyness, just the idea of that amazing voice being heard only by Antony on the bank of the Hudson river is mind-bending. Wow. The tribute to Marsha P Johnson and all the other heroes is just spot on, and by doing so it automatically pays it forward too. Amazing! Watch the interview + Salt Silver Oxygen, Crazy In Love, I Fell In Love With A Dead Boy, & Swanlights below!
