In the summer of 2015, legendary musician David Byrne staged an arena concert event in Brooklyn, New York, to celebrate the crativity of high school color guard: synchronized dance routines involving flags, rifles, and sabers, colloguially known as "the sport of the arts." Bryne invited performers Lucius, Nico Muhly & Ira Glass, Nelly Furtado, St. Vincent, Devonte Hynes, and many more to join him in creating original compositions to accompany ten color guard teams' performances. The result is CONTEMPORARY COLOR, a bold and irrespressible snapshot of a one-of-a-kind live experience.
