Sonic Pavilion Festival: DAY 1

Description

Sonic Pavilion Festival 2025 presents eight 24-channel sound compositions for the globally unique trellised speaker array at Jay Pritzker Pavilion in the heart of downtown Chicago. This year’s program features ten artists, each presenting work that draws from their diverse approaches to sound art and experimental music. The result is an immersive canopy of sound—a fluid sonic architecture that bridges the focus of a live performance and the majesty of the surrounding cityscape.

All pieces are presented on each day. Most pieces play twice per day. Full schedule with times and set order will be released July 28, 2025.
