And Flowers Showered is part of Classical Sundays, a National Sawdust series that presents the cutting-edge of contemporary classical music. Hear renowned artists from the classical tradition perform music both storied and vitally new, combining tradition with modernity in a way that is quintessential Williamsburg. Unplug and unwind as we curate the industry’s most compelling performances.

Contemporaneous, the 21-piece ensemble lauded as “ferocious” by the New York Times, performs And Flowers Showered, an immersive evening-length exploration of the self through music, movement, and visual art. Created by visionary Latvian composer Krists Auznieks and designer Magnus Pind, And Flowers Showered asks us to examine the nature of the voice within the self, while transforming National Sawdust into a vast natural environment. Through words, music, and the transfiguration of physical space, And Flowers Showered allows us to investigate the constituent parts of the indigenous voice — what is the self, and what makes us each an individual?
