About this concert
Please join us in the forest for a very special concert! Free to the public, but you will have to take a short hike to get there.
https://www.hoytarboretum.org/events/sound-galleries-july-2024/
Details: On the first Saturday of July, August, and September, “Sound Galleries” will be held in the early evening mingling poetry, music, and the sounds of nature into a dusky, summer symphony. A diverse showcase of accomplished local artists will perform under a cathedral of towering trees on the Redwood Deck.
NOTE: There is limited space on the Redwood Deck but the performances will be heard to varying degrees while walking the nearby Wildwood, Creek, and Redwood Trails. To walk, wonder and listen is the intended experience.
Getting to Hoyt Arboretum:
The Hoyt Arboretum Visitor Center is located at 4000 SW Fairview Blvd, and there are 2 pay-to-park lots adjacent to the building. To learn more about parking, fees, and alternative transportation see our Plan Your Visit page.

No No Boy is just incredible, so to plant them in a beautiful forest setting was absolutely surreal. Love love love them!

No No Boy Biography
No-No Boy is an immersive multimedia work blending original folk songs, storytelling, and projected archival images all in service of illuminating hidden American histories. Taking inspiration from his own family’s history living through the Vietnam War as well as many other stories of Asian American experience, Nashville-born songwriter Julian Saporiti has transformed years of doctoral study into an innovative project that bridges a divide between art and scholarship.
