🪨🎶 THE OTHER ROCK MUSIC

We’re taking “rock music” literally.

As part of the Ottawa 200 celebrations and Mixed Metaphors’ DOME-OCRACY series, join us at Canadensis Garden on Saturday, September 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to make music with stones.

Rocks that ring, resonate, click and clack — making 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.
