Sunrise
Welcome the longest day of the year with a transformative sunrise experience. Join composer/saxophonist Matthew Evan Taylor, accompanied by Metropolis Ensemble’s chamber orchestra, for a guided musical meditation. Inspired by Taylor’s AfroPneumatic series, Afropneuma* explores the profound connection between breath, sound, and Black identity. This new work invites participants to become part of a communal soundscape.
Sunset
Settle in to sunset with Matthew Evan Taylor’s Afropneuma, then let the energy build as Erik Hall’s visionary reimagining of Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians** takes you on a hypnotic journey—its rhythmic pulse transformed through electric guitars, basses, synths, and voices, with Metropolis, Erik Hall, and the electric guitar quartet Dither, all led by guest conductor and pianist Georgia Mills.
