The Playground Ensemble and MCA Denver at the Holiday Theater invite you to create sound and beauty in a common space, to come together in community, support each other, and listen to the reverberations.
This interactive performance features a Playground-commissioned version of Arone Dyer’s Dronechoir, a community singing event described as ‘a social performance experiment that combines unfamiliar collaborators with an unrehearsed performance, and everyone is singing together for the first time with people they may never have met before.’
*WE WANT YOU TO SING WITH US! If you would like to be part of Dronechoir, please email playground@playgroundensemble.org and we will send details!
The evening also features the premiere of the spacious and reverberant Carta de Amor by Denver-based composer Gabriel Mininberg. Recorded by the Playground at the TANK Center for Sonic Arts in 2024, we now bring it to the stage for you alongside Sara Minerd's (LUCIA) interactive visual projections.
Audience members will also be invited to participate in Nathan Hall’s Vessels for flute and singing bowls. No musical training necessary for intrepid audience members in this collaborative piece!
The evening concludes with the premiere of a new interactive performance art experiment for audience and no-input mixer by Playground founding Director Conrad Kehn called Known Input.
All of these performances will be accompanied by a gallery display of works presented by our friends at Denver’s Prison ART Experience.
Free parking available at North High School.
