Music From a Man in a Hole at Marengo Cave

Indianapolis musician and composer Steve Goodman will be performing two concerts inside Marengo Cave on December 8th and 9th at 1 pm. Each 45-minute concert will take place in “Music Hall”, a large room located in the Dripstone Trail section of the cavern that features excellent acoustics and which has been used in the past for concerts and theater performances.

Originally from Los Angeles, Goodman was the youngest member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra at age 13. He has toured Europe extensively, performing and recording with the Italian/French folk group "Al Pesto", jazz quartet "PaGo LiBre", and with an experimental group "Creative Works Orchestra." "Music from a man in a Hole" is his current performance art piece, supported by the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts grant program.

This series of compositions, to be performed in a high resonance and long reverberation environment, specifically a cave or sinkhole, by the artist playing two part harmony on a violin, chimes, a drum and with vocal overtones simultaneously. In addition to concerts, a CD will be recorded of music performed in the cave.

Seating is limited to 60 people per performance. For information contact Marengo Cave at (812) 365-2705.
