On Sunday, April 18 at 2:00 and 5:00 pm, Pulitzer Prize-winner John Luther Adams’ seminal outdoor piece, Inuksuit will be performed by the contemporary music ensemble, Nief-Norf, and offered free to the public at the Knoxville Botanical Gardens.
Inuksuit, a 70-minute work, has been described by the New York Times as "the ultimate environmental piece," while The New Yorker's Alex Ross hailed it as "one of the most rapturous experiences of my listening life."
The presentation on Sunday, April 18 will feature roughly 25 musicians dispersed widely throughout the upper meadow at the Gardens — making it easy for audiences to enjoy the experience while maintaining healthy social distance.
The concert will open with Yaz Lancaster’s 2019 composition, sequoia, a 10-minute piece scored ingeniously for musicians performing on an array of ceramic flower pots.
