Lee Mingwei is internationally renowned for projects that prompt connections and invite trust, creativity, and self-awareness. The MFA presents the U.S. debut of “Sonic Blossom”, a performance that invites MFA visitors to receive the personal gift of song from an opera singer. Wearing a custom-designed costume, the singer approaches individual visitors and offers spontaneous one-on-one performances. The singer leads the individual to a special chair and then sings short Lieder (art songs) by Franz Schubert.
Lee Mingwei’s “Sonic Blossom” is supported by the Museum Council Artist in Residency Program Fund.
Performance Art at the MFA is supported by Lorraine Bressler.
