Talk by Morris Palter followed by

Inuksuit by John Luther Adams for a very large group of percussionists

Performed within the pristine forest of Cambridge's rare Charitable Reserve, Alaskan composer John Luther Adams' Inuksuit is a sonic installation of natural and percussion sounds through which the audience moves freely. It features a large group of percussionists playing with, and to, their surrounding environment and brings attention to a treasured natural space in Waterloo Region.

Bring good walking shoes and cothing appropriate to the day's weather forecast. The performance will go on in all weather but heavy rain or thunderstorms.

A bus is available to transport people from the Forsyth lot at Kitchener City Hall directly to the rare site. Look for the Open Ears sandwich board. Taking the bus is highly recommended since parking at the concert site is very limited. Bus will pick attendees up between 12 and 12:15 pm.
