Lithic Breathing is a one night-only performance that will explore Los Angeles’s pipe organs and sea caves, and the ways they can expand and entangle our thinking about listening and resonance, deep time and sense of place. Julia Edith Rigby will premiere her newest work on The Great Organs at FCCLA, one of the largest pipe organs in the world. Improvising with her will be Kafele Williams on trumpet. This will be a work of experimental music / sound art that blends live instrumentation (pipe organ, viola and trumpet), video art, and field recordings to tell stories about planetary histories, deep time, and hearing the un-hearable. The work will blend science and art to interweave geological field recordings from local sea caves, opening our ears and minds to experimental listening, infrasonic worlds, and musical soundscapes that explore ancient landscapes. Resonance Collective is a creative community that looks to the arts as a vehicle for transformative and transcendental experiences.

Every order decides what belongs and what is left outside. Order and Its Others listens at the margins through works that organize sound, power, freedom, and collectivity in radically different ways. The evening opens with a triptych of works that place the individual body, voice, and imagination under pressure. Sofia Gubaidulina’s physically charged Dancer on a Tightrope, Gabriella Smith’s vivid and propulsive Carrot Revolution, and Luigi Nono’s La fabbrica illuminata move between precarity, transformation, and resistance, asking how a person might assert freedom within structures that seek to contain or overwhelm them. The second half of the program is devoted to Louis Andriessen’s De Staat, a forceful meditation on music, politics, and the ensemble as a social body. Written in response to Plato’s Republic, De Staat takes up the ancient claim that music can threaten the state by turning the score into a political argument that doubts its own power even as it makes it: can music ever be free from the institutions and ideologies that decide what gets played, who gets to play it, and how we listen? https://www.redcat.org/events/democracy-sessions-order-and-its-others

Wild Up presents the world premiere of a newly commissioned work by Shelley Washington for Wild Up musicians and The Collective Orchestra, an open-invitation community ensemble, in The Room Begins to Rise. Inspired by Émile Durkheim’s concept of “collective effervescence”—the energy that arises when people gather in shared emotion, attention, and action—the piece asks how music can become a practice of collective life. Through a flexible score that combines notation, images, text, and prompts, the piece invites musicians of all backgrounds to a collaborative performance shaped by listening, responsiveness, and shared decision-making. Wild Up musicians serve as both performers and facilitators, teaching and learning the work alongside community participants. REDCAT will be reconfigured into a communal space, allowing performers and audience to occupy a shared field of resonance, proximity, and exchange—a space where music becomes a way to rehearse collective creativity, cooperation, and democratic action in real time. https://www.redcat.org/events/democracy-sessions-room-begins-rise
