Artpark: UltraSound: The Secret Symphony of Plants
July 13, 11:00 am – 6:00 pm
ULTRASOUND: THE SECRET SYMPHONY OF PLANTS
Celebrate Artpark’s 50th anniversary with us as we unveil our most extraordinary artists yet – the plants themselves.
UltraSound invites you to witness an enlightening exploration of plant-generated music. Delve into three immersive listening experiences where Artpark’s flora create melodies in real-time on July 13, July 27, and August 3.
The festivities continue with a live concert at Artpark’s Mainstage on August 25th, featuring the world premiere of five newly commissioned works inspired by Artpark’s unique botanical ensemble, created by a curated line up of eminent composers, performed by a chamber orchestra, and directed by Brent Chancellor.
With the dedicated commitment to celebrating Artpark’s legacy of music and nature over time, the concert will be recorded and released on Golden Wheel Records as a collaboration with nature and with royalties benefiting Artpark State Park conservancy. https://parks.ny.gov/parks/113/details.aspx
