MSG Entertainment Announces Two Trey Anastasio Acoustic Performances at the Beacon Theatre – August 19 & 20, 2022

TICKETS ON SALE THURSDAY, JULY 28

Performance marks the debut of Sphere Immersive Sound – the world’s most advanced concert audio system – at the Beacon Theatre

Technology developed for MSG Sphere will substantially improve audience experience at the Beacon Theatre and provide greater programming control and flexibility for artists and engineers

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (MSG Entertainment) (NYSE: MSGE) announced today that Trey Anastasio will play two acoustic performances at the Beacon Theatre on August 19 & 20, 2022, with tickets on sale to the general public on Thursday, July 28 at noon ET. With these shows, Anastasio will be the first artist to utilize the venue’s groundbreaking new sound system – Sphere Immersive Sound. This is the world’s most advanced concert audio system, and was developed for MSG Sphere at The Venetian, which is scheduled to open in Las Vegas in the second half of 2023.

Tickets for the Trey Anastasio shows on August 19 & 20 at The Beacon will go on sale to the general public on Thursday, July 28, 2022 at noon (ET) via Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available in person beginning on Friday, July 29, 2022 at the Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and Beacon Theatre box offices.

Anastasio has a long history with MSG Entertainment’s venues, as a solo act, with Trey Anastasio Band, and with Phish, and is local to the Upper West Side, the home of the Beacon Theatre. Anastasio most recently played The Beacon in June 2021 when he performed to the venue’s first full-capacity crowd in more than 450 days. In another first for the venue, Anastasio heralded The Beacon’s first-ever virtual residency in October and November 2020 with “The Beacon Jams” – eight weekly shows that were streamed live to hundreds of thousands of fans over Twitch and raised more than $1 million for The Divided Sky Foundation.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Trey Anastasio back to the Beacon Theatre, but even more so to have him be the first artist to utilize our incredible new audio technology,” said Jim Dolan, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, MSG Entertainment. “Trey and his team have always embraced innovation, so it made perfect sense to work with them these last few months on how we begin to introduce Sphere Immersive Sound. This will be an incredibly special acoustic performance, where the audience will truly experience the clarity and purity of his sound.”

“I was lucky enough to experience a demo of Sphere Immersive Sound, and it’s truly unbelievable,” said Trey Anastasio. “I am thrilled to be able to debut this cutting-edge technology at the Beacon Theatre, one of my favorite venues in the world.”

Sphere Immersive Sound uses 3D audio beamforming technology to deliver targeted, crystal-clear and uniform audio to every seat in the house – setting a new standard for sound quality in performance venues. Anastasio’s August performances will mark the first time that this audio innovation is being integrated into a performance venue, as well as the debut of MSG Sphere technology to audiences. Following these two concerts, future events at The Beacon will continue to utilize Sphere Immersive Sound. In addition to its integration at The Beacon, the full capabilities of this technology are being further customized and scaled for MSG Sphere – which will deliver unique and immersive listening experiences for audiences of up to 20,000 people.

The Beacon Theatre audio experience consists of five arrays, which are specifically tailored to the venue and direct sound to its four sections – orchestra, loge, lower balcony and upper balcony – with precision. Traditional speaker technology can deliver an inconsistent and uneven sound experience, but with beamforming technology, sound levels remain consistent from point of origin to destination – ensuring every audience member experiences the optimal sound mix, regardless of where they’re seated.

City of Memphis Selects Ameresco to Lead Comprehensive LED Streetlighting, Controls and Networking Project

Ameresco will upgrade more than 77,000 of all citywide streetlights from high pressure sodium luminaires to LED fixtures

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. & MEMPHIS, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE: AMRC), a leading cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy, today announced its partnership with the City of Memphis and Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) to lead a comprehensive LED streetlighting, controls and networking project designed to reduce energy costs citywide and enhance operations and maintenance capabilities with the upgrade of over 77,000 fixtures to LED.

In addition to providing improved illumination, enhanced safety and reduced maintenance needs, the project is expected to result in annual energy savings of more than 37 million kWh and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 26,000 metric tons. The resulting energy and operating cost savings will allow the project to pay for itself over the life of the system. Updated luminaires will be fully controllable through remote monitoring on a secure network capable of additional smart city applications. The City of Memphis aims to significantly reduce its carbon emissions, while simultaneously improving both streetscape and nighttime visibility in a cost-effective and energy-efficient manner through the completion of this project.

Additionally, throughout the construction process, local residents from Memphis and the surrounding communities will be employed to participate in the construction of the streetlighting upgrades. By working in conjunction with the community, Ameresco hopes to exceed Memphis’s goals for MWBE participation for job creation and workforce development and create lasting opportunities for residents that extend beyond the project term.

“We are now almost ready to begin converting all 77,000 streetlights across our city to LED bulbs. By doing this, we will be bringing significantly improved lighting to every neighborhood in Memphis,” Mayor Jim Strickland said. “As I stated in my State of the City last year, no longer will criminals have a safe harbor to operate under cover of darkness and prey on our citizens in dimly lit parts of the City. I’m pleased this much-needed project will be starting soon.”

“MLGW is pleased to work with the City of Memphis and Ameresco to upgrade MLGW’s streetlighting system within the City of Memphis to provide enhanced lighting, substantial energy savings, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and lower maintenance costs,” said J.T. Young, President and CEO, Memphis Light, Gas and Water.

As the leading Energy Services Company (ESCO) provider of LED streetlighting conversions and the largest non-utility purchaser of LED streetlights, Ameresco brings national streetlighting and controls experience to the project. In total, Ameresco has experience developing projects for and converting more than 800,000 streetlights to LED light sources, of which over 50% are controlled by a lighting management system.

“Our experience leading complex streetlighting modernization projects with some of the largest cities in the U.S., like Chicago and Phoenix, has prepared us well for our work with the City of Memphis,” said Louis P. Maltezos, Executive Vice President, Ameresco. “Our goal is to outfit the city with state-of-the-art solutions that will greatly reduce light pollution and ensure a cleaner, safer and healthier future for all Memphis residents.”

Construction is expected to begin in Fall 2022 and reach completion by Fall 2023.
