We’re taking “rock music” literally.
What happens when rocks become musical instruments?
As part of the Ottawa 200 celebrations and Mixed Metaphors’ DOME-OCRACY series, Canadensis Garden invites visitors to make music with stones — rocks that ring, resonate, click and clack, creating sounds you might not expect.
Come explore the sounds of lithophones and discover just how musical a rock can be.
No musical experience required. Just come ready to rock.
