Concert | Listen to “The Auerglass,” a two-person pump organ


The Auerglass is a two-person wooden pump organ designed by the artist Tauba Auerbach with her friend Cameron Mesirow of the band Glasser. The instrument cannot be played alone. It requires two people to play. One player has to pump in order for the other to play and vice versa. There is a four-octave scale that is divided so that each of the two players plays every other note. Auerbach and Mesirow will play a composition written specifically for the instrument. It combines music that Auerbach wrote as a child, songs from Glasser and new material. Ida Falck Øien, who creates the costumes for Glasser, has created special costumes with shifting states for the Auerglass players to wear.

Theater | The Buddha Prince, an outdoor “walking play”


The play was created as an outdoor “walking play,” taking the audience on a journey through a natural environment as the scenes unfold around them. "The process creates a bond among the audience and they leave with open hearts, wide eyes and changed minds," says the play's creator Markell Kiefer. "Because of this many consider it a healing play, an offering for peace." The Buddha Prince draws from both eastern and western artistic traditions, mixing physical theatre with mask, puppetry and traditional Tibetan music and dance.
