As promised, here is the YouTube video of the Empire State Building light and shadows show from earlier this evening – the colors are fantastic, as is the music (songs I actually knew!).
Lighting designer Marc Brickman stated the following immediately following the show:
“My inspiration begins with the music. For the first-ever Halloween light show I approached this project by treating the Empire State Building as the ultimate canvas. Architectural lighting as theatre on the most iconic building in the world.
It’s as if I am painting with light and shadows for the entire world to see and enjoy.”
Empire State Building Realty Trust CEO Tony Malkin stated:
“Empire State Building and Clear Channel’s first-ever Halloween light show comes on the heels of our premier light show to two songs by Alicia Keys and our performance in the Macy’s July 4th fireworks display finale. For this show, we have a new surprise several months in the making which will bring even more excitement to New York City’s skyline,” said Anthony E. Malkin, Chairman, President and CEO of ESRT. “ESRT and Clear Channel are thrilled to gift our latest light show performance to our global audience to enjoy and share.”
