Join us for a midday Solstice Concert–
Heliophonie (Sun Sound) will be performed in-sync to the sun’s harmonic tones. The solar sphere oscillates like a bell ringing every 4 minutes 48 seconds (as heard on a large gong). Overtones pulse in quadra-pole rotation (realized by the instruments & electronics). Solar storms moving vigorously through the resonating convection-zone are performed by instrumental duets.
Myth-Science Ensemble featuring Thomas Aber, Patrick Conway, Hannah Kelly, Allan Winkler, Michael Miller, Dwight Frizzell and guests will be resonating with the sun for this free and open-to-the-public event at an accessible outdoor vantage point. In case of rain, the event will be held in Vanderslice Reception Room.
This is an artist-sponsored event generously hosted by the Kansas City Art Institute, a four year undergraduate college of art and design, where Dwight is Professor in Sound and Converging Media.
