Gallery Performance: Trillium Salon Series Presents In C

You might know minimalist art—but have you heard minimalist music?

Join Trillium Salon Series in the Contemporary Art Galleries for a performance of Terry Riley’s remarkable In C. Widely considered the first minimalist composition ever written, Riley’s 1964 work consists of melodic fragments written for an undetermined ensemble—the instruments and number of players is really up to the performers. From accordion and electric guitar to violin and harp, any and all instruments are welcome.

A part of Northwest Arkansas Community College (NWACC)’s 2022 Spring Arts and Culture Festival, Trillium will be joining forces with NWACC’s music department and community musicians to perform In C. Surrounded by art, nature, and the vibrant colors of the Contemporary Art Gallery, this is not an experience to miss.

Free, no tickets required.

About Trillium Salon Series

Trillium Salon Series redefines the live music experience to invite connection and build community. Founded in 2016 by Katy Henriksen and Glenn France, Trillium Salon Series began with the idea of producing house concerts for classical music and expanded to include experimental and avant-garde sounds. The first took place in Katy’s living room with string players from Artosphere Festival Orchestra playing Mozart alongside Lady Gaga to equal verve. Past salons include a celebration of Florence Price chamber music at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, a night of 21st century classical music at 21c Museum Hotel Bentonville, a live improv scoring to F.W. Murnau’s silent film classic Nosferatu with Thought Form Collective, a community-led installation of 1,000 origami cranes at Likewise Community in downtown Fayetteville, and a New Year’s Day Potluck celebration at Mount Sequoyah Center.
