"We invite visitors to experience the natural world - and its fragility - through works by Cornell composers, including current students, alumni and faculty,"
"Some pieces celebrate the beauty and resilience of the planet, while others confront the devastating impacts of ecological loss."
"I hope the exhibit will offer a space to slow down, listen deeply, and cultivate a greater appreciation for the natural world through music,"
"In addition, visitors might feel a sense of connection with others who are grappling with the ecological challenges of our time and find solace in the diverse musical responses showcased throughout the exhibit."
A multimedia Cornell University Library exhibition opens Feb. 20 at the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance, showcasing scores, videos and sound recordings that connect music with nature, ecology and climate. Curator Lenora Schneller assembled works by Cornell students, alumni and faculty intended to invite visitors to experience the natural world's beauty and fragility. Some pieces celebrate resilience while others confront ecological loss. The presentation aims to encourage slowing down, deep listening, and greater appreciation for the natural world, and to foster connection among people facing ecological challenges. Featured works include pieces by Sally Lamb McCune, Eric Nathan, Takuma Itoh, Roberto Sierra, and Steven Stucky. On Feb. 20 at 4:45 p.m., DMA composition student James Parker will present an interactive installation, Grayspace, transmitting radio signals for audience participation.
