Join Ensemble Dal Niente at Taliesin for a unique experience that explores the relationship between music, architecture, and nature. This musical promenade will take guests through multiple spaces within Wright’s main residence where musicians will offer site-specific instrumental improvisations – spontaneous musical dialogues that respond directly to each room’s acoustics, design, and atmosphere. Guests will move from space to space, experiencing a deeply immersive journey that blends community, architecture, and music.

The evening will conclude with drinks, charcuterie, and artist reception, inviting reflection and conversation between audience members and the ensemble about the shared experience and creative process.

Ticketholders will park at the Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center and be shuttled to the Taliesin residence.
