Flying Cello: A Trapeze Musical Event

This one-page document, which includes a drawing, announces an event by Jim McWilliams, to be performed by Charlotte Moorman. The document includes a statement by McWilliams, who describes his earlier pieces for Moorman and declares, "Charlotte with Cello is perfect medium." This performance entails Moorman and a cello, each placed on separate swings, hanging 40 feet over the home plate of Shea Stadium from trapeze rigging. When Moorman and the cello meet in mid air, music will be created.
