Ten Thousand Birds at ARTPARK

Alarm Will Sound presents Ten Thousand Birds by John Luther Adams, Pulitzer Prize-Winning composer. In this social distancing-friendly performance audience will walk the grounds while instrumental sounds commingle with the calls of wildlife, rustling leaves, and human footfalls. As in John Luther Adams’s composition, birdsong becomes music, instrumental sounds transmute into natural ones, and the open setting becomes artistic space, where the lines blur between human creativity and natural phenomena.
