OLEA Ensemble: Sounds from Nature
In “Sounds from Nature,” OLEA explores the human desire to be alone with nature. Being alone in nature allows us to simultaneously feel the peace of being isolated from other people with the comfort of being connected to plants and animals. The program will feature two newly commissioned works by Owen Hopper and Brad Balliett.
Admission is free, but donations to support the commissioning of new works is greatly appreciated!
