PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POSTING!

I have no idea what this is, but it looks like an adventure. Who's in?

"Cactus Concert is a tribute to John Cage and Detroit's avant-garde scene, presented by the Detroit Bureau of Sound, with special guests Sophiyah E. and Dominant Hand. The performance features Cage’s Child of Tree, which premiered in Detroit in 1975.
In this innovative piece, an amplified cactus becomes the instrument, with contact microphones capturing the subtle vibrations produced by the plant and the performer. The result is a unique soundscape filled with rustling, creaking, and delicate spring-like noises, blurring the lines between natural sounds and music.
True to Cage’s philosophy of indeterminacy, Child of Tree allows chance to shape the performance, creating a constantly evolving experience for the audience." Picture and description attributed to DIA.
As of this posting this event is free with admission to DIA.

We will meet in Kresge Court for a meet and greet (at 6 pm) before heading over the performance. There will be a table sign that says "DSC Meet-up".
