The Echo Society—SIX:FAMILY
The Echo Society is a Los Angeles-based non-profit artist collective led by seven composers founded in 2013.
The collective's first three-day festival, SIX: FAMILY, took place in October 2017 at a legendary residence from the Golden Age of Hollywood, nestled atop the hills of Silverlake with breathtaking views of surrounding Los Angeles.
The event featured original works by 21 Los Angeles-based composers and special guests exploring the theme of "Family." Each evening, 7 different composers presented or performed original works simultaneously in 7 rooms of the house for (mostly) unamplified instruments of their choosing. During each show, guests were free to explore the rooms inside the estate and discover the various performances as the evening unfolded.
Featured guest performances by Jónsi (Sigur Rós), Moses Sumney, Reggie Watts, Julianna Barwick, Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear), & more.
