NoMad Jazz Festival: Tin Pan Alley and Beyond: A Musical History Walk with Tim Nissen
8/9 – 8/10
9:00 am – 10:00 am
This walking tour explores more than just Tin Pan Alley — it traces a path through Manhattan’s rich architectural landscape, uncovering the deep connections between music and the built environment. Guided by MoMath’s renowned exhibit designer and Associate Director Tim Nissen, the route includes a range of historical styles from Beaux Arts to Art Deco to International Style, with reflections on how these aesthetics resonate with musical forms like jazz and classical. Inspired by Goethe’s observation that “architecture is frozen music,” this tour invites participants to consider the rhythm, harmony, and mood of New York City itself.
