With months of planning, a desire to make a change, and a love for the city of Cleveland, a team of extraordinary innovators and creators brought an unprecedented concept to life.
When it was completed in 1927, the 52-story Terminal Tower became the first skyscraper in Cleveland and the second-tallest building in the world, housing a railroad terminal, hotel, department store, and post office. Today, the Terminal Tower is home to corporate tenants as well as individual residences, and it stands as one of Cleveland’s most iconic landmarks.
At the beginning of 2020, our team was desperate to bring light to the troubling times that were facing us and the entire world. In partnership with K&D Group, Tom Siko, President of Vincent Lighting Systems (VLS) began discussing ways in which to enhance their lighting and provide the Cleveland community with hope during these difficult times.
In May of 2020, VLS partnered with the K & D Group and WOIO Channel 19 to take control of the lighting at Terminal Tower and choreographed the building to “Better Days” by OneRepublic.
After the success of this event, EDM performer, hybrid DJ and artist E-V expressed interest in performing from the 42nd-floor observation deck of the Terminal Tower as part his quarantine series, E-V TV: Charity Live Streams, to benefit local charities & showcase the city’s most special landmarks. K&D Group reached out to VLS for a solution, one that had never been done before.
After three months of careful planning and logistics, E-V performed an integrated light show that synced to his performance and provided viewers with an unforgettable experience. The hour-long set collected donations for the Greater Cleveland Food Bank and created never-before-seen views of the Terminal Tower and the city of Cleveland.
