It's a Wine Tasting and Soundscape-Hearing Evening at one of Philadelphia's hidden historical treasures, Historical Society of Frankford, 1507 Orthodox Street on Tuesday, June 25, 2013 starting at 6:30pm and going until 9:00pm. The cost is a suggested donation of $20 for both wine and the exhibit. Enjoy a glass of wine in the bucolic gardens adjoining the Historical Society of Frankford, then venture downstairs to experience the soundscape installation amongst the historical artifacts as part of the Hidden City Philadelphia Data Garden.

Proceeds from this one-time event will go toward funding the Navajo Summer Arts Camp and Performance Project in New Mexico this summer. From July 22-August 2, B. Someday Productions' Artistic Director, Michelle Pauls will bring two weeks of theatre games and activities, including a specially tailored version of B. Someday's Barrymore Award-winning OF MYTHIC PROPORTIONS program to Navajo teens living on the Navajo Nation Reservation. The camp will serve grades eight through twelve and will focus on storytelling, theatre games, and creating an original piece of performance, based on stories from their own lives. The camp will culminate in an original piece of theatre, which the teens will perform for each other and for the community of the reservation. Traditional stories shared by community elders will also be incorporated. The Public Performance will be audience-interactive, and the whole community will be invited to share in the young people's original piece of live performance!

Data Garden and its collaborators created a wired sound installation combining contemporary as well as outdated audio technologies that allow the public to "play" and mix the sound of the historic museum and its artifacts. Data Garden will also present a concert of experimental, contemporary electro-acoustic music featuring King Britt, violist Gretchen Lohse, theremin player Laura Baird and Dino Lionetti on 8bit sound technology.
