We are excited to present "OkCello: LIVE", featuring two dynamic musical experiences by acclaimed cellist Okorie Johnson.
4pm - OkCello presents… The Offering
A fully improvised, concert experience, designed as a gift of sound and intention for the audience. The experience consists of four acts in close succession: I. Improvisation/ Meditation; II. Offering; III. Co-Creation; and IV. Living Sound.
An intensely intimate and memorable experience.
7:30pm - OkCello Live
OkCello presents an intimate concert experience of new and classic works as part of his ever-expanding sonic landscape.
Okorie “OkCello” Johnson, an Atlanta-based cellist-composer, looper, improviser, and storyteller, has been featured on the Tamron Hall Show, has been a recipient of The Kennedy Center Office Hours Artist Residency, and was accepted as a sound installation artist for the Democratic Republic of Congo’s 2022 Biennale.
Drawing upon his experience as a teacher and writer, OkCello immerses his audiences in vivid stories and songs, creating a richly layered, transcendent concert experience, while also working with companies and educational institutions to leverage the power of music and storytelling to help solve problems and create community.
Join us for a family-friendly art workshop as part of the Contemporary Kids program, where kids of all ages can explore their creativity and engage with the themes of contemporary art!
A Cross Pollination Iron Art Event | by Allen Peterson and Friends
Ticketed
We kick off the new year with a performance art event with Allen Peterson and Friends in which crews of sculptors melt scrap iron and pour it into reusable molds to form bird-sized honeybee forms. Like puppets, these bees “fly” through the night in formations inspired by the dance-based language honeybees use to communicate and cooperate inside the hive.
Join us for a transformative morning of movement and sound at Flow State, a one-hour immersive yoga experience led by Sydney McCall, accompanied by the live sounds.
