A PERFORMANCE LIKE NO other Bravo! Vail has ever done. Scored for 9 to 99

percussionists across a vast outdoor space, Inuksuit, composed by Grammy Award-winner John

Luther Adams, was described by The New York Times as “the ultimate environmental piece.” Presented in Maloit Park with 66 percussionists, Inuksuit provides a unique and individualized listening experience. As the soundscape builds you walk through the piece visiting small collections of players or lone instrumentalists who, as they move to various performing stations, weave apparent randomness into a stunning cohesion.

Inuksuit is a coproduction between Bravo! Vail and the Aspen Music Festival and School.

FREE EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE VALLEY,
