Session Description
Special guest Mark Trecka will play a live musical work for families to listen to and interpret into drawings. Families will try to notate these drawings to become visual sound scores that others might be able to “play” with their bodies, voices, instruments, or found materials at home.

Hosted on Zoom by artist and educator Audra Wolowiec, each session is free and recommended for families with children ages 5 and up. Space is limited and reservations are required. Reservations open two weeks prior to the program; to register for this free session, please click here.
