Event Details

Join Seasonal Ranger Orion, who is also a classical composer, for a creative and relaxing night at the gorgeous Grundy Forest! You will learn to create "neumatic gestures"-- visual representations of sounds composers use as first drafts of their pieces-- to pull the shapes and feeling out of the night sounds around you. Together, we will examine how sounds fit together and our own reactions to nature's musical tapestry, while also creating a beautiful piece of art you can take home.
