Celebration in Sound

This event is now sold out. In celebration of the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern’s 100th birthday, BBP will present an original site-specific performance for eight tubas reverberating throughout this cavernous former drinking water reservoir. Composer and tubist Thomas Helton has created Foundation, a new work designed for the Cistern’s unique acoustics. Tubas are the kings of low brass instruments, providing the harmonic foundation of an ensemble. For this performance, musicians will be positioned around the perimeter of the Cistern to create an immersive low-end sound environment. Attendees will be invited to circulate throughout each 20-minute performance. Cost $15 $10 for BBP Members Duration 20 minutes Location Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern (105-B Sabine St) PURCHASE TICKETS
