Sonic Pavilion Festival 2025 presents eight 24-channel sound compositions for the globally unique trellised speaker array at Jay Pritzker Pavilion in the heart of downtown Chicago. This year’s program features ten artists, each presenting work that draws from their diverse approaches to sound art and experimental music. The result is an immersive canopy of sound—a fluid sonic architecture that bridges the focus of a live performance and the majesty of the surrounding cityscape.

Artists were selected in an international open call from a pool of 165 applicants. The 2025 artists are:

Angel Bat Dawid & Eyeisha Sistrunk
Anna Friz & Jeff Kolar
David Bird
Glenn Kotche
Myles Emmons
Paige Alice Naylor
Saapato
Zouning Anne Liao
