Although its acclaimed international festival is still seven months away, Big Ears has an extraordinary project coming this October. Knoxville Broadcast is a large-scale, site-specific “spatial symphony” created by award-winning composer Lisa Bielawa that will be performed by more than 600 hundred musicians across World's Fair Park.

Knoxvillians—we need you to submit text for the score! Selected submissions will be woven into the score itself, spoken or sung live by performers across the site.
Just respond to the prompts on the Knoxville Broadcast webpage. And don't forget to mark your calendar!

Knoxville Broadcast
World's Fair Park
Friday, October 17 – 6:00 pm

Edward Abbey once said ‘there’s nothing older than the news.’ Welp, when the news is about the news, might want to sit a spell. I’m not always the best at leaning into the brand.
Hellbender Press won three first-place awards from the Society of Professional Journalists for its coverage of the Great Flood of 2024. Paige R Penland and J.j. Stambaugh and Wolf Naegeli really stomped the terra on the coverage. It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I’ll never forget it.
