The photo at 23rd & Broadway is the Flat Iron Building in Chelsea. Times Square where the ballet takes place is at 42nd & Broadway. Both buildings come out to a peak however. Both areas of the City still swing.

This orchestra plays movie score music. It played music from the original "The Unforgiven" music and album composed by Dimiti Tiomkin.
I especially love the "Lonely Town" portion of this music. There is a motif in this piece that has been used by in radio station IDs.

does the very beginning remind anyone else of the rite of spring? or is it just me? lol

@ViolaClarinetti158 More or less. It reminds me of some sections of "Dance of the Earth". There is something similar after few minutes of the first movement of Bartók's Piano Concerto n°1. Check it! ^^
