SUMMARY:The Return: Eden Rayz and Argent & Sable- A Death Aware Musical Concert
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Mount Auburn for a concert that celebrates the third homecoming of the Bigelow Chapel pipe organ* after it was decommissioned by Mount Auburn and reformed by Eden as a new multi-component instrument called Argent and Sable**. \nThe performance includes amplified cello with vocals\, electronics\, and Eden’s band featuring Daniel Gordevich (bass guitar) and AJ Grimes (drums)\, Eden’s original compositions including “Aboriginal Sensible Muchness” which she wrote as her first piece as an artist-in residence\, plus several newer songs inspired by the Cemetery and spending time with her friend Roy Hawes\, the Cemetery’s Operations Manager. \nThe performance will feature a new arco-electroacoustic percussion instrument (2026) created from one of the remaining flute pipes of the Bigelow Chapel organ. \nShe will perform and recite her 2025 musical death awareness meditation “Nox Obscura\,” which explores collective grief\, reinvention\, ritual\, subversion\, and the dark night of the soul. \nAttendees are encouraged to listen\, meditate\, and immerse in the cacophonous sound of Argent & Sable. “The Cemetery Tapes\,” a live performance album recorded in Bigelow Chapel featuring the death meditation “Lux Aeterna” will be available at the event\, plus CDs and other keepsakes.*In October 1924\, a Hook & Hastings pipe organ was installed in Bigelow Chapel as part of an interior renovation by Architects Allen and Collens\, reflecting a return to a more traditional setting for funeral and memorials services. Over the next several decades\, the Cemetery received fewer requests to use the organ for services and the cost of repairs and restoration increased. In December 2022\, the organ was de-accessioned and removed from the Chapel. Today\, only the organ’s altar façade remains. \n**“Argent” refers to the silver color of the principal pipes and “sable” refers to black\, the absence of color worn in mourning.
