Amidst fall colors and falling leaves, dancers Sarah Baumert, Suzette Gilreath, Erika Hansen, and Megan Mayer perform in the site-specific Fall Sound Garden performance installation along the wooded trails and open spaces at Caponi Art Park as part of the annual Eagan Art Block Festival.
Saturday, September 14
12:00-4:00pm
Rain date: Sunday, September 15.
Directed and designed by composer JG Everest, the Fall Sound Garden will also feature embedded sculptures and poetry throughout the site, with live guided poetry tours and live roving musical accompaniment by members of the Free Range Orchestra and Choir.
Please note that the Fall Sound Garden runs both Saturday, September 14, and Sunday, September 15, but the above movement scores are only performed on Saturday, September 14; unless that event is canceled for rain, in which case movement scores will take place on Sunday, September 15.
The Fall Sound Garden event is a free, family-friendly, self-guided durational event that features a sound installation of over 60 small, wireless speakers distributed throughout the park, with live accompaniment by roving musicians and dancers. Each small speaker is playing a different part of the whole piece of music, creating a unique, immersive experience that is described as “a concert you can move through.”
The Fall Sound Garden event is free, but registration is requested to send weather updates and possible program changes.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund, as well as a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
