The Sound Garden Project

 IPR's summer concert series
The Sound Garden Project

Follow @iprsoundgarden on Instagram for the fullest experience!

The PULSE saxophone quartet performs outside

The Sound Garden Project’s mission is to plant classical music in unexpected places as they reimagine a 21st-century performance experience. In their ambitious hands, a concert becomes an event, and an audience becomes a community of inspiration, understanding and hope.

The 2023 Sound Garden Project ensembles were PULSE, Fivemind Reeds and the Blue Saxophone Quartet. They lived, created and performed in Northern Michigan.
