Get background and context for Sunday's "The Great Animal Symphony Orchestra" concert. This lecture is given by the composer, Richard Blackford, and museum biologist Daniel Fergus.
Funded by a generous grant from the NC State Sustainability Fund, the music of the Great Animal Orchestra Symphony combines the sounds of wild animals in the natural environment with the musicians of a live symphony orchestra. Touching on themes of sustainability and animal/human interaction, the Great Animal Orchestra Symphony is at once touching, thought provoking and great fun!
