On the International Day of Yoga, the ASO presents a concert with a difference.

Silence with the ASO is both meditation and orchestral concert, featuring music intended to calm and soothe.

The audience is encouraged to rest on yoga mats or to sit back and relax in near darkness for the 60-minute duration of the event, which will be performed with no interval and no applause breaks.

The performance, happening at 1pm and 2pm at Grainger Studio, culminates with one of the 20th century’s most disconcerting and rarely performed pieces, 4’33” by experimental composer John Cage, in which the musicians are instructed not to play their instruments.

You will never listen, or hear, the same again. Don’t miss this special event.
