Jonny Greenwood's Popcorn Superhet Receiver, featured in his score for the film There Will Be Blood, will receive its US premiere tonight at the latest concert in New York's popular Wordless Music Series. Conductor Brad Lubman will be leading the Wordless Music Orchestra in a performance of John Adams's Christian Zeal and Activity and Gavin Bryars's The Sinking of the Titanic as well. The ensemble will give an encore performance of the program tomorrow night. Both concerts will be held at the Church of the St. Paul the Apostle at Columbus Avenue and West 60th Street in Manhattan.
