Performance: Eco-composer Cheryl Leonard on Thin Ice

Submitted by the Event Organizer

From Antarctic icebergs to Europe’s largest glacier to frozen lakes in Yosemite National Park, voices of melting ice are showcased in a musical performance by Cheryl E. Leonard. Field recordings interweave with sounds played live on rocks, shells, driftwood, penguin bones, water, and kelp in compositions about our transforming polar and alpine regions. Rooted in her personal explorations and informed by scientific research, Leonard’s music shares sonic wonders and stories of change from Earth’s icy realms.   

Cheryl E. Leonard is a composer, performer, field recordist and instrument builder whose works investigate natural sites and ecosystems and human relationships with them. She uses microphones and amplification to explore sonic intricacies, highlighting unusual voices and soundscapes while addressing environmental issues.
