Gallery Performance: Trillium Salon Series

Trillium Salon Series returns to the galleries of Crystal Bridges to kick off a third season of art and music. Inspired by works in the collection, immerse yourself in sound during this afternoon of art and music performances that occur on the Second Sunday each month, May through October.

Free, no tickets required

Trillium Salon Series invites a blurring between audience and performer to instigate connection and interaction, redefining the classical performance experience.

Unlike a traditional setting, in which a performer is set apart up on stage, with an audience looking up to the spotlight, Trillium aims to take away this idea of a stoic performer with an audience in awe, simply responding in a very dichotomous way to the performance.

The audience is as much a part of the experience as the performer, meaning concertgoers aren’t simply passively part of the experience, they take an active role and instead of a static dichotomy there’s now an energetic exchange of synergy. We want to destroy the idea that classical music is only for the elite, a high brow experience for those only in the upper crust. This is music for everyone, music that helps us all and speaks to the human condition.
