new music community and its proud traditions by fostering new works and projects. n Since 1996 New Music
Bay Area has hosted The Garden of Memory walk-through concert every June 21 st at The Chapel of the Chimes,
4499 Piedmont Ave., Oakland, California. n New Music Bay Area is a non-profit 501(c)3 which is proud to provide
performance opportunities and related services to composers, performers, and presenters of new musical,
mixed media, and performance art works in the San Francisco Bay Area. New Music Bay Area’s 2015 Board of
Directors are: Tyler Abbott, Sarah Cahill, John Kennedy, and Lucy Mattingly. n For more information, please
see our website www.gardenofmemory.com. For inquiries, please email [email protected].
The annual Garden of Memory summer solstice concert began in 1995 when Sarah Cahill was writing a cover
story for the East Bay Express about public bathrooms of the East Bay. n In search of interesting bathrooms,
she wandered into the Chapel of the Chimes and heard some distant organ music as she got lost in the maze
of the building. Inspired by that combination of sensory stimuli, she pitched the idea of a concert to other board
members of New Music Bay Area. They said yes, and were pleasantly surprised when the Chapel of the Chimes
also said yes to a big wild concert of avant garde and experimental music. n New Music Bay Area would like
to thank the following for making this concert possible: Marcie Fitzgerald, Tom Kelsey, Allison Rodman, Harley Forrey, Doug Mutchler, and the staff of the Chapel of the Chimes; Lucy Mattingly; Bonnie Hughes and the
Berkeley Arts Festival; George Mattingly (program and flyer design); Greg Kuhn; and our fabulous volunteers.

In 1909 Chapel Chimes Oakland was founded as a crematory and columbarium and to this day is considered
one of California’s most beautiful historic buildings. Today, Chapel of the Chimes provides complete end-oflife services as a member of a family of four premier Bay Area columbariums, crematories, mausoleums and
funeral homes. From traditional to personalized, Chapel of the Chimes assists the diverse families of Northern
California to fully memorialize and celebrate a life lived. n Originally a Key Car Line station the building was
converted in 1909 into a crematory and columbarium. In 1926, architect Julia Morgan was commissioned to
expand the building. Morgan, one of the finest architects of her time, designed a haven of peace and tranquility
with an innovative array of gardens, cloisters, alcoves, stairwells, fountains and chapels that rose toward
vaulted ceilings illuminated by natural light. The project is considered by some as her masterwork. Morgan
continued to consult as the mausoleum grew in popularity and expanded to one and a half city blocks. Other
prominent architects contributed over the years, including Aaron Green in 1959 as an associate of Frank Lloyd
Wright. In 1999 the City of Oakland designated Chapel of the Chimes as an Oakland Historical Landmark.
