From the urban buzz of city streets to the stillness of wilderness, Westerkamp’s compositions invite audiences to hear a new world. Drawing from the intricate relationship between living beings and sound, her music features voices of children, men and women, noise, silence, electronic sounds, songs from different cultures, and more. Award-winning performers Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa, piano; Norman Adams, cello; and Terri Hron, recorder and electronics; will bring Westerkamp’s music to vivid life, weaving sound, space, and emotion into an unforgettable live experience.
Whether you’re a devoted contemporary music fan or simply curious to experience sound in a new way, this concert promises to be immersive, thought-provoking, and deeply moving.
