Sarah Davachi + Robert Takahashi Novak: New Commissions
Saturday, March 7, 2026 | 7:30–9:15 pm  Tickets: $25
Event Location: The Broad, 221 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012
 
An evening of specially commissioned compositions by electroacoustic and minimalist organist, Sarah Davachi, and conceptual sound and contemporary electronic music artist, Robert Takahashi Novak.
 
Activating the unique physical characteristics of the museum's lobby, at once cavernous and cathedral-like yet intimate, the two Los Angeles based musicians will utilize a spatial sound system to realize their unique styles and methods, unlocking the potential for somatic experience of deep listening and self-awareness. 
 
Presented tied to the special exhibition Robert Therrien: This is a Story, the world premiere of Novak's and Davachi's individual works investigate human scale in relation to physical  surroundings, memory and the individual's response to experience, and how perception can shift upon close observation.
 
These ideas can also be found in Therrien's sculptures and  installations that evoke sly shifts in our perception of belonging in space and time, and alter how  we experience objects and their surrounding environments. These site-specific performances  will be created to resonate with the unique sonic qualities of the architecture of The Broad's lobby.
