Sculptures is a work for organ by composer and musician Ellen Arkbro. The piece grows out of Arkbro’s fascination for the textural qualities of chordal sound and is an extension of the explorations on her latest release Sounds while waiting. By fine-tuning complex, yet clear, harmonies she guides the listener through rare moments when harmony and space blend and become perceptually inseparable. The concert marks her Chicago debut.

At 7:45pm, just before the 8pm organ concert, Arkbro's piece for solo carillon the greatest trees are cut down will be performed on the Rockefeller Chapel bells by university carillonist Alex Johnson. The carillon performance can be heard from anywhere in the vicinity of Rockefeller, including just outside Bond Chapel where the organ concert will be held.

Co-presented by the Renaissance Society and Frequency Festival Chicago.
