Inspired by an early spring outing led by Distinguished IU Biology Professor Roger Hangarter, this unique musical performance depicts the seasonal re-awakening of nature in southern Indiana. Dr. Hangarter has led IU Student composers on a hike where they observe life in ponds and fields and then compose musical pieces based on their experiences during the hike.
During the performance, Professor Hangarter will share images and insights about the wildlife encountered during the hike.
On behalf of the Student Composers Association at Indiana University, Jacobs School of Music student composer Thejas Mirle has organized the musical performance based on the creative works and will lead an ensemble in playing the compositions. Composers are Noah Burns, Jacob Lisiewski, Alexey Logunov, and Emmet Lewis.
This performance will be right before the Artists for Climate Awareness “Art As Inquiry” art show reception, which begins at 3:00 pm. All are invited to stay and engage with climate change through an artist's lens. Light refreshments; awards given.
