ABOUT BOWERBIRD@LANDMARKS
bowerbird@LANDMARKS is an ongoing curatorial partnership that expands
cultural offerings in Philadelphia by bringing experimental and
improvisational music, film, dance and other creative, genre-defying
performing arts to historic sites in the region. Showcasing the
newest performing arts is nothing new for Landmarks' four historic,
18th century houses---Grumblethorpe, Physick House, Powel House and
Waynesborough. These houses would often have been the locations for
recitals of the most "fashionable" music of their time. Events in the
bowerbird@LANDMARKS series revive this long-lost tradition of intimate
concerts, and provide an intelligent alternative for contemporary
audiences.
What can you expect if you attend a bowerbird@LANDMARKS performance?
You can expect to hear some of the most innovative, avant-garde music
being produced by local, national and international artists. You can
expect to be challenged to expand your definitions of music, and to
leave behind your preconceptions. Each performance will involve some
risk-taking by both the performer and the audience member, but if you
come with an open mind, and we promise to provide you with a uniquely
stimulating experience.
