3 ways to experience Surround Sound
2026 Salon Series
Place
In 2026, Surround Sound's salon series explores a simple but powerful idea: place shapes expression.
Each art-centered experience is thoughtfully designed to invite curiosity and cultivate a deeper way to engage the world around us.
In these programs, we’ll listen, look, and taste for the individual components that together emerge as distinctive expressions of culture.
We're currently exploring music, wine, and how to pair them thoughtfully. We start with a few questions:
-
What makes a wine taste German, Spanish, or French?
-
What makes music sound German?
-
How do cultural values echo across music and wine, and what do we notice when they do?
This season focuses on place, but the deeper practice comes as we pay attention. The same approach can illuminate other questions, other cultures, other themes–all things we plan to explore in the months and years ahead.
Join us as we discover what it means to hear and taste where something comes from.
“Having never done anything like this, I really enjoyed having the chance to experience this combination. I've never had much chance to critically listen to music, let alone classical, but there is power in these pairings which you executed so well!”
