“You won’t hear anything. You’ll hear everything.” -John Cage

With more than 60 local artists showcasing their work at OZ Arts, audience members will continuously find something new and interesting to enjoy— whether it’s music, poetry, visual arts and more. People who love art, entertainment and creativity will love MusiCircus.

Inspired by John Cage’s anarchic community “happenings” of the 60s and 70s, Colleen Phelps invited a multitude of artists from a range of ages and disciplines to convene at OZ Arts for an evening simultaneous and overlapping performance. The performances will take place from 7pm to 10pm.

Capitalizing on the growing number of soloists, ensembles, improvisers, composers and music styles in Nashville, Phelps aims to represent not only the nexus of new music practitioners, but also the breadth of poets, dancers, chefs, vocalists, and visual artists in Music City for OZ Arts’ final TNT of the Season. This MusiCircus will exuberantly celebrate the diversity of arts in Nashville.
