Facing Sound : Musical Adventures of an Overlooked Organ

Join us for medieval fabliaux, Renaissance fragrent vines, operatic extracts, advertising slogans, music hall songs, and contemporary compositions that feature the most overlooked organ and its sensory powers. Alongside new works by Barbara and Jane Alden, we will perform nasal excavations by Lord Berners, Judith Bingham, Geoffrey Bush, Lou Gare, Charles Hutchins, Pete Morris, Dmitri Shostakovich, Nicolas Slonimsky, and anonymous. Bharatanatyam and contemporary dancer and scholar Hari Krishnan’s representation of scent will teach you how to inhale anew.
