After the excellent experience in 2009, when two events were held in New York and Washington, Sónar returns to the United States, this time to present a three-day festival, created especially for the occasion.
The objective is to take the philosophy of the Barcelona festival to the North American city, with all the features that have made Sónar an international touchstone: with an ambitious and high quality line-up featuring plenty of electronic experimentation and its derivations and unusual venues of the highest calibre, in this case the Jay Pritzker Pavilion – designed by Frank Ghery – in the popular Millennium Park (the 9th of September) and the famous Chicago Cultural Center (the 10th and 11th of September).
WED. 9/8/10 (7:30pm; $10 (students), $18 (members), $20 Tickets)

TimeOutChicago on Adventures in Modern Music Edition Sonar':The Rhys Chatham Trio @ Museum of Contemporary Art
about 1 year agoRhys Chatham came to notice in the ’70s, swimming in the same downtown Manhattan scene that spit out Sonic Youth. Best remembered for droning, minimal masterpieces like “Guitar Trio” and “Die Donnergötter,” the classically trained New Yorker inspired Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and countless other noisemongers. When his adopted hometown of Paris commissioned him to write a piece for 400 guitars in 2005, Chatham gamely whipped up A Crimson Grail. Inside the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, the composition was performed by just 125 guitars, yet it was anything but a compromise. more at chicago.timeout.com
