Preview the final rehearsal of Katie Madison and Deborah Cowell's SUN SONGS

An opportunity to witness the final dress rehearsal and preview of SUN SONGS at the Museum! We invite you to join us in advance of this multi-day sonic performance, organized by Katie Madison and Deborah Cowell. Inspired by an indigenous African Folktale, SUN SONGS explores how our relationship to the natural world can help inform our relationship to ourselves and others, especially in moments when the systems that try and tell us how to be can feel limiting. Featuring vocals, piano, cello, upright and electric bass, guitar, and percussion, the piece is a musical exploration of history, ancestry, light, sound, color, space, movement and time rooted in truth. The piece explores how word, rhythm, sound, and light call the most enlightened parts of ourselves into being. On Friday, June 14 and Saturday, June 15, join us again for this collaborative aural experience developed in folk-form and drum circle theory, that asks us to listen not just with our ears, but with our whole selves. Listen with and listen to the parts of you that show through the notes set free from the page.
