Polar Soundscapes
In this closing event for the Vanishing Ice exhibition, Other Minds and the Brower Center present composer, performer, and instrument-builder Cheryl E. Leonard, who will create a concert using Arctic and Antarctic field recordings and natural-object instruments including penguin bones, dried kelp, ice, and seashells. Leonard, with Phillip Greenlief, will perform works about polar environments and climate change including Meltwater, a delicate and innovative composition produced with icicles. Several pieces with videos by visual artists Oona Stern and Genevieve Swifte will also be performed. A post-concert Q&A will be hosted by Charles Amirkhanian.
