In a weekend before tuxedo-and-gown-wearing audiences would arrive at New York's concert halls for traditional season-opening galas, a very different kind of classical music party took place in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.

Conducted by James Blachly and performed by the Experiential Orchestra, the Rite of Spring Dance Party on Sept. 19, 2015, was organized with Groupmuse, a national organization that stages chamber performances in private homes.
