Fotografiska NY will present the second annual Unfiltered Music Festival, featuring some of the most vital and accomplished names in contemporary classical music, inviting the audience to experience music in one of the most breathtaking spaces in NY City. Participating musicians comprise the four-time Grammy-winning, Chicago-based sextet Eighth Blackbird, three-time Grammy-nominated violinist and composer Curtis Stewart, and renowned pianist Jenny Lin. This year's festival follows a successful inaugural event which took space in March two thousand twenty-two and featured classical superstars including Caroline Shaw and Anthony McGill. The festival builds upon Fotografiska's mission to "inspire a more conscious world through the power of photography" by offering an immersive, multidisciplinary experience.

The Loft space, occupying the top floor of Fotografiska New York, lifts these electrifying musical programs out of the traditional concert corridor and sets them in a versatile event space with vaulted ceilings and skylights built in one thousand eight hundred ninety-fourth. Since opening in Sweden in two thousand-tenth, Fotografiska has become a refuge of innovation, inclusivity and free expression.

The festival is co-curated by the Fotografiska NY programming staff and cellist Laura Metcalf.
