This Audio Walk was developed by Sarah Wingfield for testing purposes.

Thank you for downloading Echoes and following alongside the DAM! performance series. Please take your time and enjoy the sounds of the city of San Antonio and its community. “When I look at a dam, I see an opera house. The majestic stage is set for the drama that is our lifeblood in the inevitable overflowing of water.” Pamela Martinez, local composer and sound artist, presents free and open-to-the-public sonic art performances at two San Antonio dams this March that explore water as a carrier of culture throughout our city. A celebration of nature, infrastructure, and performance, this free public series seeks to bring awareness to local waterways and their importance in cultural connection. Two new events are set for the series for March that highlight the infrastructure around the water. The first event on Saturday, March 4th is at Lake Elmendorf’s 19th Street Dam at 5:00 pm with two acts, Transformation and Our Power Together. The second event set for Saturday, March 25th 5:30pm at the Roosevelt Tunnel Outlet begins with musicians floating on kayaks in the San Antonio River for the reprisal of Our Power Together, followed by Flow, a quiet parade, and ending with DAM! A Song of Water, originally performed at the Spanish Colonial Mission which opened the series in October. Both performances will be about an hour long. Every performance is unique and site specific. We'd love for you to come to both Lake Elmendorf and Roosevelt Tunnel Outlet.
