Thornden Park Amphitheater
Ostrom Ave., Syracuse

Resounding Earth inspires a participatory sonic landscape in the park amphitheater, featuring a performance of Augusta Read Thomas's music for percussion quartet and ambient sounds celebrating community across cultures.

Ambient sounds, in this case, refer not only to sounds within the natural, outdoor setting but the fact that the musical score calls for 500 bells or sculpted metals of different sizes and shapes, from different cultures and historical periods.

To make this distinctive to CNY and the park, four regional composers will create mini-soundscapes in mapped locations nearby for visitors to explore before, during, or after Resounding Earth. Attendees are encouraged to bring a bell to "ring in" the performance, helping to change the sonic landscape for themselves and others.

Presented by SU Humanities Center's Syracuse Symposium, Society for New Music, and the Syracuse University College of Visual and Performing Arts.
