ArtBreaks are facilitated gallery experiences led by a variety of guest artists, scholars, and community members.
In connection with
the common S E N S E, Bang on a Can will play music that explores our musical relationships with the animal and mineral worlds. Bang on a Can All-Stars percussionist David Cossin plays the “tiger drums” that he made famous on the award-winning soundtrack to the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and then Bang on a Can All-Stars bassist Robert Black will play Jim Tenney’s elemental and visceral “Beast.” The two musicians then join forces for John Cage’s monumental “Ryoanji,” a transformation into sound of a trip Cage took through a Japanese rock garden. After the performance, we invite you to stay for a discussion with the group.
Experience all the Bang on a Can you can this weekend! Be sure to catch their six-hour marathon on Sunday afternoon (Feb. 15) at the Moore Theatre, presented by our friends at Seattle Theatre Group.
The Henry strives to be accessible to all visitors. Please visit our accessibility page for more information or contact Museum Services at 206.221.3850 or email us with questions or needs.
