“Sonic Explorations in Troy” @ Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, 2/25/2025

Improv Spaces co-directors, harpist Alex Chang and percussionist Adam Forman, as part of the Rock City Falls Trio, are working with multi-instrumentalist and visual artist Manuel J. Perez III to create “Sonic Explorations in Troy” with participation from the Troy community. In December, the public was invited to share their photos, sounds, objects, and memories about Troy at a community potluck at Mt. Ida Preservation Hall. The artists are now incorporating those collective joys, trials, and experiences of the city into this music and visual art project.
On February 25, they presented the work-in-progress at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, taking feedback from the public. The piece will then debut at the 2025 Improv Spaces Music Festival on Saturday, June 7th at the Round Lake Auditorium.
