EARTH DAY MUSICIANS SOUGHT
Dust off the hurdy-gurdy, balalaika or kazoo and join members of Whidbey’s Saratoga Orchestra on Sunday, April 13 at 2pm in Greenbank Farm’s Main Barn for a special reading of Terry Riley’s “In C”, the groundbreaking work that spurred the minimalist movement in contemporary music. The score is one page, featuring 53 small cells of music that are to be repeated ad lib. by any number of performers on any combination instruments. The result is a multi-layered, constantly evolving, meditative performance that can never be experienced the same way twice.
​
This will give you the vibe. Our performance will last 10-ish minutes.
