This is one of our favorite sound art events to attend every year. It's well worth the trek if you don't live in Oakland. Thought I'd let someone else provide the accolades this round. Here's a nice write up from Jason Victor Serinusm of the East Bay Express.
Critics Choice: GARDEN OF MEMORYThe most extraordinary concert of the season, the Garden of Memory columbarium walk-through in the historic, Julia Morgan-designed Chapel of the Chimes, returns this weekend. The annual summer solstice celebration, whose fame has spread to Europe and the Far East, will scatter no less than forty local and international cutting-edge musicians and ensembles throughout the extraordinary facility. With acoustics to die for, and multiple, equally intriguing performances vying for attention, the more than 2,000 attendees expected this year are sure to find their consciousness and imagination expand. Arrive early to find decent parking and hear the most popular performers.
