About Inuksuit

Hailed as the “ultimate environmental piece,” Inuksuit is inspired by the stone sentinels constructed over centuries by the Inuit in the windswept expanses of the Artic. Inuksuit is a concert-length work in which performers are widely dispersed and move throughout a large, open area.  Listeners, too, may move around freely and discover their own individual listening points. This work is intended to expand our awareness of the never-ending music of the world in which we live, transforming seemingly empty space into more fully experienced place.
