Venue SIX10
610 S Michigan Ave

Experience the Midwest premiere of legendary minimalist composer La Monte Young’s The Melodic Version (1984) of The Second Dream of The High-Tension Line Stepdown Transformer from The Four Dreams of China (1962) in Dream Light. This transformative work, performed by The Theater of Eternal Music Brass Ensemble, bathes the audience in magenta light designed by visual artist Marian Zazeela while music from 8 trumpets floods the space. Join Chicago Humanities for a wholly unique experience that will transport listeners on an exploration of the subtleties of light and sound.

audiences are allowed/encouraged to bring yoga mats so that they can lay on the ground while listening to the piece, if they wish.
