SUMMARY
Underground Symphony plunges the audience into the pulling heart of the New York City subway, where the hum of rails, flicker of tunnel lights, and rush of commuters blend into a living musical tapestry. Through mechanical rhythms, metallic echoes and frenetic energy, an urban harmony emerges — a living portrait of the city’s pulse echoing underground.
