Sound Observatory New Orleans

Sound Observatory New Orleans an organization dedicated to the cultivation of new music in New Orleans. Introducing Sound Observatory New Orleans, SONO.

An organization developed to support and sustain the creation of new music in New Orleans. This spring we begin the renovation of an exciting new space that we hope will become a performance lab and home to a series of artists in residence, unofficially named, Deviation Hall. Our mission is to create the optimal environment to foster and present new, original music, sound & visual installation, an

d creative performance in New Orleans. We aim to host 4 - 6 artist residencies per year, dedicated to the creation of new work and collaboration with New Orleans artists in a facility and that supports all aspects of the creative processes. This is an incredible amount of work but we are so excited about this project!!! There is so much creative spirit here in New Orleans, and so many amazing musicians and artists we’ve met in out travels throughout the world; it would be a dream come true to be able to host them here in our hometown! Please consider supporting the efforts of SONO and the creation of Deviation Hall with a tax-deductible donation!
