Musician and author David Rothenberg has long explored live performance together with the sounds of nature, from nightingales to humpback whales to cicadas.
David will make “music with nature” at two performances at Mount Auburn Cemetery this spring. On April 20th at dawn, he will play with a chorus of singing birds at Consecration Dell*, using his clarinet and some live electronic sounds. At dusk that same day, he will play with underwater pond sounds at Halcyon Lake*, inspired by his latest book SECRET SOUNDS OF PONDS.
Rothenberg sees his interspecies collaboration as making music with the sounds of the natural world, producing something that no one species could create alone.
*Note: Location is subject to change. Attendees will be notified in advance if the performance is moved to a different location.
...
David Rothenberg has made more than forty recordings, including One Dark Night I Left My Silent House, In the Wake of Memories, and Faultlines. He has performed and/or recorded with Peter Gabriel, Suzanne Vega, Elliott Sharp, Umru, and Iva Bittová, among others. In 2023 he was nominated for a Grammy Award for For the Birds. His most recent work includes the books Whale Music and Secret Sounds of Ponds, and the film Nightingales In Berlin. Rothenberg is a Distinguished Professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
