Garden of Memory Soundscape

Pianist Sarah Cahill is turning heads by championing “New Music” like a modern Dizzy Gillespie—bringing avant-garde sounds to unexpected places, even San Quentin prison. Her big vision? Filling Julia Morgan’s Gothic Chapel of the Chimes in North Oakland with spontaneous, immersive performances. Every June 21st, the “Garden of Memory” festival blooms with surprise musical encounters—from whistlers to toy instruments—where you never know what’ll round the corner. This year’s lineup includes Turkish composer Melike Yersiz’s interactive sound art and Joseph Bohigian’s stone-microphone folk fragments, all designed to make memory feel alive. It’s unpredictable, enchanting, and running from 5 to 9 PM—where every turn holds a new sonic surprise. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
