“Unsilent Night” is an original composition by Phil Kline, written specifically to be heard outdoors in the month of December. It takes the form of a street promenade in which the audience becomes the performer. Each participant gets one of four tracks of music in the form of a cassette, CD, or Mp3. Together all four tracks comprise “Unsilent Night”. The fact that the participants play different “parts” simultaneously helps create the special sound of the piece. Participants carry boomboxes, or anything that amplifies music, and simultaneously start playing the music. They then walk a carefully chosen route through their city’s streets, creating a unique mobile sound sculpture which is different from every listener’s perspective.
The Healdsburg event is free and family-friendly. Our one-of-a-kind nondenominational caroling parade will begin and end at the Healdsburg Plaza and explore the holiday lights on streets surrounding the Plaza. Bring your boom box, mobile device, or bluetooth speaker to amplify the music as we stroll through town! Let’s fill the night with joyful noise!
Lanterns are welcome too; bring one to help light up one of the longest nights of the year!
Presented by CUBE Arts Healdsburg.
