Garden of Memory 2008: a walk-through concert to celebrate the Summer Solstice

Once again, Samavesha visionary Laura Inserra has been asked to participate in this wonderful and unique event being held at the Chapel of the Chimes on the longest day of the year. If you have never been to this New Music extravaganza, you are in for a treat!

Laura Inserra will be playing the hang in the Garden of Eternal Wisdom.

Details:
Saturday 21 June, 2008
5 to 9 pm
Chapel of the Chimes, 4499 Piedmont Ave., in Oakland.

The Chapel of the Chimes is a beautiful labyrinthine Julia Morgan-designed columbarium and mausoleum replete with gardens, fountains, and stained-glass skylights. The concert, which takes place on the summer solstice to capture as much of the late daylight as possible, is a walk-through fun house of musical and visual splendor. Each year Sarah Cahill signs up dozens of ensembles, duos, solo performers and sound installation artists, and in a process she likens to solving a jigsaw puzzle, disperses them throughout the countless chapels, hallways and rooms of the facility.

Hope to see you there.
Your friends at Samavesha
