Free to enter! Sliding scale donations encouraged!!

The Parallel Listening Series combines literature, music, sound, and performance art into a live, free public event at Gallery5. This event creates a dynamic space for artists and audience members, developing an intentional environment where deep listening promotes reflection and inspiration. The performance pairs creative writers with musicians, blending a literary reading with an improvised score. Because art practices can often be siloed, the Parallel Listening Series seeks to explore the interconnectedness of language and sound, art and community.
