If you missed the Museum of Quiet Sounds back in April, you can now see the show through the eyes of our visionary videographer Domenic Clark!
🎥
Domenic takes us through each exhibit in a walking tour-style video, somehow capturing the essence of 900 minutes of music in just over 13 minutes of footage.
🎶
And congrats again to the 15 performers and over 30 composers who put so much energy and love into this event!

Countless wonderful photos have been snapped at Din shows in the past, but the 2nd and 3rd photos in this collection are easily two of our favourites EVER TAKEN!
🤖
Look at the expressions of deep curiosity and pure joy on the faces of our youngest audience members as they explore the robotic sound installation by Sara Constant at Din VII.
👶
We want to give a HUGE thanks to Tyler and Lieke for creating and raising two of our most precious audience members yet!!
📸
Amazing work by Domenic Clark capturing these super-sweet, organic moments!

Grace's world premiere on Din VII was a truly massive endeavour: including acoustic harp, electronics playing exclusively through rotary phones, interactive painting and storytelling, video projection, and an extensive set.
☎️📞
We couldn't be happier with how this exhibit turned out, thanks to the brilliant compositional efforts of Grace Scheele and Kim Farris-Manning, and the performance of Grace and Una di Gallo.
👶👵
And as you can see from the photos, guests of all ages enjoyed engaging!

The inimitable, innovative Interro Quartet pushed the boundaries of the string quartet format at our Museum of Quiet Sounds last month!
🎻
The quartet formed a circle, with audience members being invited to sit alongside performers throughout the performance. Kids at our Saturday matinée show took full advantage, playing games and even having dance parties within and around the circle of performers!
🎻
(The Interro Quartet deserves a standing ovation for the various... antics... they put up with during the matinée show!!)

Wrapped in a cocoon of room dividers, soft lamp light, and exquisite harmonies, Wesley Shen took our breath and stole our hearts at the Museum of Quiet Sounds with his sensitive and perfectly-executed performances.
🎹✨
With a programme built around works by Ann Southam and Anna Höstman (a world premiere!), Wesley's exhibit enchanted guests of all ages, leading them on a journey through a world of pleasant sounds, floor cushions, and pads of artificial grass.

We love this mysterious and somewhat surreal photo of Hillary Jean Young from Din VII, during a performance of their new work with Joseph Glaser, "weirdtok_2021"!

This piece is such an apt and timely representation of online existence that in a way, it continues right now as you look at this image on social media!
