MOMA is planning its first big show devoted to sound art. Soundings: A Contemporary Score will feature the work of 16 artists including Turner Prize winner Susan Philipsz who has taken the score of a symphony composed by Pavel Haas in 1943, while he was in a Nazi concentration camp, and re-imagined it with just one cello and one viola playing their intermittent parts.
