$20 – $25![](https://www.mountauburn.org/app/uploads/2024/03/DR-in-the-fields-Slovenia.jpg)
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.
