Last weekend, Tregaron Conservancy and @washingtonperformingarts partnered for Tregaron Unplugged, bringing together artists from across musical and cultural traditions, alongside experiences that invited audiences to move, reflect, explore, and connect. The program featured @johnnywalkerb1ack , @deepak_ram_flute, @sadiekanemusic, @holisticdante, @nidembaya, along with a site-specific soundwalk experience by @chromic_duo, inspired by the serenity of the Conservancy. A great way to usher in autumn! Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy, volunteer, and support this special endeavor.

Happy Autumn Equinox! Today, day and night are in equal balance. This time of year marks a new chapter with crisp mornings, transformation of the leaves, and new memories to be made. #lovetregaron #autumnequinox #fallvibes #dc

Pure delight listening and dancing to the classic Cuban sounds of @soncubanosubterraneo this weekend! Thanks to the band, our partner @clevelandwoodleyparkvillage, and our volunteers for bringing so much joy to our parklands and community by co-hosting this annual concert.

Tregaron Conservancy and Washington Performing Arts are thrilled to announce the world premiere of “Shimmers in the Field,” a new soundwalk created by Chromic @chromic_duo (Lucy Yao @whylucywhy and Dorothy Chan @etaa.dorothy) for Tregaron Conservancy. We partnered in co-commissioning this soundwalk -- which will be available to our visitors for a full year -- in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Conservancy and 60th anniversary of Washington Performing Arts.
Blending original music, narration, storytelling, and sound design, "Shimmers in the Field" transforms a visit to Tregaron into a guided act of listening. Using GPS technology, the free mobile app locates each listener within the park and layers music and stories keyed to areas along the trails. The walk follows no fixed route: visitors chart their own paths, linger where they choose, and encounter the work differently on every visit and in every season.
Experience the soundwalk starting on October 17 at Tregaron. ...
