SONA is a multi-disciplinary event for string quartet, electronics and film conceived by Kurt Stallmann as a reflection on the environment in which he lives. It features live performance by the Enso String Quartet and corresponding film footage by filmmaker Alfred Guzzetti. Among the sounds in the atmosphere of his recent home in Houston are the bellowing horns and deep rumblings produced by freight trains traveling through the city, the rhythms of falling rain, and the wind gusts of passing storms. Stallmann was inspired to connect all of these elements into a continuous event using music, computer-generated and processed sounds, imagery, and recordings taken from the environment. The Enso Quartet has performed in venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and the Library of Congress and now Monkeytown.
