Next week, Dal Niente heads to Wisconsin for a pair of unique shows at Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin. Wright’s home, studio, and garden sanctuary embodies Wright’s ideas of organic architecture. Ensemble members Alejandro Acierto, Caitlin Edwards, Emma Hospelhorn, and Jesse Langen present two location-specific performances that respond directly to Wright’s ideas of compression, expansion, and space.

🎶 On Saturday evening, guests are invited to move through various spaces within Wright’s main residence where members of Dal Niente will offer site-specific instrumental improvisations – spontaneous musical dialogues that respond directly to each room’s acoustics, design, and atmosphere.

🎶 Then, join us for a special Sunday afternoon concert in the historic Hillside Theater at Taliesin. Featuring works by Igor Santos, Misato Mochizuki, Fausto Romitelli, and more, this performance offers an opportunity to experience the ensemble’s distinctive and boundary-pushing musical voice within one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most acoustically and architecturally compelling spaces. More information and tickets at the links below.
