Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art

A collaborative aural experience organized by artists Katie Madison and Deborah Cowell

An aural and embodied opportunity to experience, gather, and listen. We invite SUN SONGS to charge the Museum’s gallery space in this multi-day sonic performance. 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. Join us 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. Following the performance, we invite you for a public Q&amp;A with the artists in the Museum.
