Seats are limited for this intimate experience, so advance ticket purchase is recommended!In Merlin Coleman’s “DISPATCHES from the CHARCOAL FOREST,” members of acclaimed vocal ensemble Kitka move through the space and sing over a quadraphonic audio sculpture of found recordings, collected sounds, and interviews relating to the Sonoma County Tubbs Fires of 2017.
