If you were at the Friday, August 22 cistern concert featuring Matt Kocmieroski, Walter Gray, Tom Heasley, and Stuart Dempster, you remember the incredible feeling of lying on the grass, looking up at the sky, while a concert was amplified from below.

Curious about what it looked like down below? Here is a picture of the musicians in action, along with the music they were playing, the landmark modernist work Atlas Eclipticalis, by John Cage, composed via star charts.

Stayed tuned for information about Centrum's 2009 year-round lineup of blues, jazz, chamber, blues, fiddle, writers, residency, visual art, singing, and youth events.

But 2008's not over yet! Next up at Centrum is the October 2-6 Lap Steel Intensive featuring Cindy Cashdollar, the October 9-12 Autumn Writers' Intensive featuring fiction writer Rebecca Brown and poet Ilya Kaminsky, and the 2008 Centrum Gala on November 15!
