Composer Graham Reynolds, percussionist Susie Ibarra and cellist Jeffrey Ziegler share a modern composition inspired by the world of arthropods.
Description
Enjoy the world premiere of “a sonic exploration of the resilience and beauty of the world’s oldest living multicellular creatures: arthropods.” The music of “Insectum” was inspired in part by insights gained in an entomology course with UT Austin curator of entomology Alex Wild. Wild and Jo-anne Holley, a fellow UT entomologist and associate professor of practice, played a part as consultants in bringing the album to life.
- 6 pm: Join in an entomological discussion before the performance
- 7 pm: Enjoy a public performance of the music of “Insectum”
