SOUNDWALK: An Auditory Safari
Date and time
A safe, socially distant musical experience. It's a walk in the park with the voices of the L.A. Choral Lab as your musical guide.
About this event
SOUNDWALK is...
- the voices of the L.A. Choral Lab, recorded and heard through your own headphones and smartphone (no live singing)
- an outdoor choral sound installation
- a safe experience for you and the members of your household
- brand-new choral compositions by local composers Divya Maus and Jaco Wong
You, the listener, are in control; as you journey through Griffith Park, the music will change and evolve according to your precise location.

WHEN: Experience SOUNDWALK on your own time any time during park hours between April 12, 2021 and May 16, 2021
