SUMMARY:The Sound Garden Project: Fivemind Reeds
DESCRIPTION:The Cheboygan Area Arts Council is collaborating with Interlochen Public Radio’s 2025 Sound Garden Project to bring Fivemind Reeds to Cheboygan from July 14-19. The Sound Garden Project’s mission is to plant classical music in unexpected places as the featured musicians 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. During their residency week\, Fivemind Reeds (a quintet of reed instruments) will perform a series of free\, public pop-up events in the Cheboygan area\, such as at the Farmers’ Markets\, the Art Fair\, in public parks and at downtown business locations. Each of these events will be short 30-45 minute appearances\, leading up to the final event.  All events are designed to be interactive with the community. \nTheir final concert event will take place on Saturday\, July 19\, 7:00pm at the historic Cheboygan Opera House. All events are free to the public and do not require reservations or tickets. The Sound Garden Project will be a unique opportunity to bring classical music out into our community and to break down the stereotypes of so-called elite music. We hope the experience will also inspire young people to consider studying an instrument\, either through private instruction or in their school’s music program. \nFivemind Reeds is a Los Angeles-based reed quintet with saxophonist Alexander Lee\, clarinetists Darren Liou and Kristine Llanderal\, bassoonist Matthew Rasmussen\, and oboist Thacher Schreiber. Formed in 2021 at UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music\, Fivemind has since performed in several concerts and recitals throughout Los Angeles and the United States. Most recently\, Fivemind was a two-time ensemble-in-residence for Interlochen Public Radio’s Sound Garden Project\, in other Northern Michigan communities. The quintet maintains a colorful and diverse repertoire\, from old masterworks by Mozart and Grieg to landmark contemporary works by composers such as David Biedenbender\, Marc Mellits\, and Jeff Scott. \nThis event is partially funded by an Arts and Humanities Grant.
