“For Quail Ridge” is a live sound installation exploring the
sonic qualities of space, ritual observation, and the
boundaries between individuals and the non-human communities we
inhabit.
This performance installation is not on the UC Davis campus.
It is located near Lake Berryessa.
The work is designed to be hiked through, and the hike is
somewhat strenuous, with 500 feet of elevation climb. However,
you will be able to experience the full piece from any point
along the trail at any time — including from the field station
near the parking areas without needing to hike at all. Please use
your best judgment when setting out, and bring a water bottle!
This program focuses on modern works for solo harpsichord
or harpsichord and violin, including the world premiere of
“Sustainable Mindfulness” by Slovakian composer Peter
Machajdik.
