SPECIAL PROJECTS
LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC

GRATITUDE to the performers & creative producers who kept saying yes.

JELLY was designed by Dante Carlos
In 2017, Kallmyer began working with the LA Phil on a series of interdisciplinary projects that pushed at the boundaries of music. Utilizing the alternative spaces in the Gehry-designed hall, Kallmyer’s Furniture Music workshop worked closely with the Phil to generate interpretive publications, architectural installations, performances, and informal experiments with music in the public sphere.
