Iridian
Arts needs you and your portable stereo for the return of our holiday
musical event! December 6th, 2007, Phil Kline's Unsilent Night
will fill downtown Santa Barbara with an amazing outdoor holiday soundscape.
As over 100 volunteers slowly disperse across multiple city blocks with
boomboxes or portable stereos playing the harmonies and bells of Kline's
recorded soundscape, downtown Santa Barbara will be enveloped in a swirl
of ever-evolving sound (everyone showing up with a boombox will be provided
with a cassette or CD of the recording).
Over the past fifteen years performances of Unsilent Night
have grown to become a yearly holiday event in cities around the world,
and Iridian Arts is pleased to have established this as a new annual
holiday event for Santa Barbara.
The event begins at 6 pm on December 6th in the Santa
Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum courtyard at Paseo Nuevo Mall with
an opening reception. From 6:30 to 7:15 pm the music will proceed though
downtown to the Santa Barbara Courthouse . At 7:15 we'll again have
more music from the Gove County String Quartet and a reception generously
provided by the Santa Barbara Performing Arts League.
Feel free to simply observe, listen, or better yet, join us with your boombox and you'll be given a copy of the music to play!
