Earth Day Celebration April 21, 2013

Alaskan composer John Luther Adams will bring his monumental, ecological “Inuksuit” to the University of Richmond April 21 in commemoration of Earth Day. Written for 99 percussionists, “Inuksuit” is designed for outdoor performance.
Free and open to the public, the performance will begin at the university’s Jenkins Greek Theater at 4 p.m., with musicians stationed throughout the wooded area and paths along Westhampton Lake.
The 90-minute production will feature members of the university’s Grammy Award-winning ensemble-in-residence, eighth blackbird; musicians from Richmond’s departments of music, art and art history, and theatre and dance; and percussionists from other colleges in the region. Audience members are encouraged to move throughout the area to experience the composition to its fullest.
