The musicians are dispersed around the performance space while audience members are invited to move through Planet Rock’s main climbing chamber to hear different soundscapes. 8–11 p.m., Planet Rock, 82 Aprill Drive #C. Tickets are “pay what you want” at $5, $10, $20, or $40. Limited number of each ticket price available to encourage early registration. Preregistration recommended at bit.ly/regenerate-solstice.
