On Saturday, June 21, the Interference Series will mark the summer solstice � and the longest day of the year � with a full day of community-centered music and creativity. From a sunrise raga performance in the forest to a raucous Pride marching band to an interactive symphony in the park, the series continues its mission of reshaping how Flagstaff experiences sound and art.
Coinciding with International Make Music Day, Interference’s solstice celebration will unfold in three acts: a dawn Hindustani concert at the base of Mount Elden, a joyful march in the Pride Month parade featuring an all-comers band and a participatory “Flowerpot Music� performance in Wheeler Park. Together, these events embody the spirit that founders Owen Davis and Rob Wallace have nurtured over 10 seasons � creative risk-taking, community inclusion and artistic joy.
“Flowerpot Music,� by Elliot Cole, is a participatory piece that blends composition and game using literal flower pots and mallets.
