SUMMARY:Secret Sounds of Ponds - FDR Park
DESCRIPTION:***Please note this event is happening rain or shine. We recommend bringing a camping chair\, blanket\, or other item to sit on.*** \nBowerbird and LandHealth Institute are pleased to co-present a unique out-of-doors performance by musician-naturalist-philosopher David Rothenberg and the secret sounds of two of Philadelphia’s favorite lakes. \nJoin David Rothenberg\, interspecies musician\, composer\, naturalist-philosopher and author of over a dozen books and forty albums including “Why Birds Sing”\, “Bug Music”\, and “Survival of the Beautiful”. In 2024\, Rothenberg released Secret Sounds of Ponds\, a book/music/performance initiative which reveals the unknown music beneath the surface of even the most ordinary pond. Join him for an afternoon of aquatic vibrations\, bug solos\, and inter-species jamming. David uses hydrophones (underwater microphones) to tune into live bug sounds and then improvises\, using his clarinet to duet with the plants and insects amplified from under the water. You’ll never see a pond quite the same way again. All ages are welcome\, though the morning concert will be more oriented towards kids and will have hands-on activities for younger listeners who wish to touch and draw as well as listen. \nBoth concerts are free and open to the public. \nSunday\, April 6th\n9-11 AM at FDR Park’s Edgewood Lake (family friendly auxiliary activities provided)\nFDR Park\, Boathouse Dock (precise coordinates: 39.903669\, -75.181716)\n*Road closures planned for Sunday April 6: INFO HERE \n5-7 PM at West Fairmount Park’s Concourse Lake (for the more contemplative crowd)\nConcourse Lake (precise coordinates: 39.979653\, -75.215121) \n\nABOUT THE ARTIST \nRothenberg’s books have been translated into eleven languages and he has more than forty recordings out\, including One Dark Night I Left My Silent House which came out on ECM\, and most recently In the Wake of Memories and Faultlines.
