NMN Leslie Ting: Installation/concert “What Brings You In”
Leslie Ting’s “What Brings You In” is an autobiographical, confessional concert with interactive sound installation. Based on interview research and personal experiences with talk therapy, hypnotherapy, dreamwork, sandplay, somatics, and reiki, “What Brings You In” is an exploration, through a series of new music compositions, of when and where our truest selves emerge. This installation/concert invites audiences inward to discover more about themselves through listening, while asking “what brings you in?” to live performance gathering in a communal space. What might we discover together?
The performance features violinist Leslie Ting and percussionist Germaine Liu, with additional electronics and sound design by Matt Smith. The concert experience will include compositions by Linda Catlin Smith, Rose Bolton, Julia Mermelstein, Leslie Ting, and Germaine Liu. Performances take place at 3:00 P.M. and 5:30 P.M (one-hour duration).
