Revels’ intimate Salons provide the opportunity to meet interesting, creative people and to have the privilege of hearing about how they combine their passion and work. This year’s Salons are based in a variety of music genres including that of the Jewish immigrants, New Orleans’ Bourbon Street and Bulgarian folk songs; the creation and building of wondrous “one-man-band” instruments at home; and finally, creating bold architectural spaces that include playful “found music”.

The splendid 1865 Victorian Commander’s Mansion located at 440 Talcott Avenue near the Watertown Arsenal provides an “at-home” feel, and Revels provides the delicious drinks, desserts (from Finale!) and cheeses. The pre-Salon reception begins at 7:30pm with the presentation starting promptly at 8:00pm. Free Parking is available on site.

Christopher Janney

A Life Combining Architecture and Music

Christopher Janney was trained as an architect at Princeton University and M.I.T in the 1970’s. Believing that there was more to creating a dynamic urban environment than erecting buildings, Chris developed his own multi-media studio, PhenomenArts, Inc. in 1980. He has created numerous permanent interactive sound/light installations, attempting, on the one hand, to make architecture more "spontaneous" (Harmonic Runway, Miami Airport; REACH:NY, 34th St. subway, New York) and, on the other hand, to make music more physical (HeartBeat:mb with S. Rudner, M. Baryshnikov). His work has been profiled on CBS Sunday Morning, HGTV, Architectural Record, The New York Times and in a 30-minute award-winning documentary titled "Drum of Time." A book on his work, titled “Architecture of the Air,” is scheduled for a September release with the inauguration of “Rainbow Cove Green and Red,” two nine-story elevator/stair towers at Logan Airport, Boston, MA. A former student of Revels founder John Langstaff, Chris designed integral light and sound installations for the 1987 Christmas Revels at Sanders Theatre.
