This last performance of the 2024 Cultural Ecologies season on 9/28 (6pm canoe launch, 6:30pm Concert) features emerging composers at the cutting edge of music and tech including Erich Barganier, Han Geul Lee, Catherine Phang, Alyssa Wixson, and Annie Nikunen, each developing new multimedia works exploring the relationship to different aspects of our environment through technological constructs, representation and collective memory of community before and after industrialization, and our interconnectedness from the personal to the interstellar. Audience members who reserve a canoe seat can explore the canal from 6 to 6:30pm while experiencing Unheard-of and Brian Ellis’s Gowanus Sound Paddle.

Special Guest band Fox Indigo closes out the season with a party/reception after the premieres!
