Social hour between 5:00-6:00pm, strolling performance begins at 6:00 pm sharp!

FREE and open to everyone, no experience necessary!

Please join us as we host the annual performance of Phil Kline's Unsilent Night.

Unsilent Night is a mobile sound sculpture that was written specifically to be heard outdoors in the month of December. It takes the form of a street promenade in which the audience becomes the performer by playing composed, pre-recorded tracks through their phone and a portable speaker, or portable analogue play back system like a boom box! Think of it as caroling but with experimental, non-religious, holiday-adjacent sound art!

You can see a clip of it here:

We will walk for 45 minutes through historic Cabbagetown admiring the beauty of the neighborhood mixed with the immersive sound scultpture that is Unsilent Night. We will use 97 Estoria as a meeting/stepping off point, please join us early and stay after for some holiday fellowship and community!
Please feel free to bring lights, lanterns, and family and friends to participate!
