Join Mexican composer, sound artist, visual artist, and performer Guillermo Galindo and a Philadelphia-based ensemble of fellow performers under the Reading Viaduct as they explore one of our city’s sonic spaces and their own bodies as components of song. This groundbreaking performance is the culmination of a three-part workshop with the participants in which they’ll explore resonance and reverberation, listening, chanting, and the healing properties of sound.
