According to Inuit tradition, sila is “the spirit that animates all things.” The Inuit use the word to describe the forces of nature, but they also use it to describe consciousness: “our awareness of the world around us and the world’s awareness of us.”

The public is invited to hear the Iceland Symphony Youth Orchestra’s performance of Adams’s inspired piece, under the leadership of Daníel Bjarnason.

The event is free and open to the public.
