The premier of Sufjan Stevens’ new project entitled The BQE is just about a week away. Stevens will perform the “symphonic and cinematic exploration” of New York City’s Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, which features an original film and orchestral composition by the talented, young musician between November 1-3 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

For all those who don’t have tickets to the sold out event, a youtube video has surfaced featuring Sufjan’s orchestra rehearsing his 30 minute composition. Sufjan is in the back playing piano.

If you’d like to hear more, Stevens will be appearing on David Garland’s radio show “Spinning on Air” where he will premiere more parts of the composition. You can listen to it beginning at 7pm ET by clicking here.
