Presented by the Brower Center and Other Minds

In this closing event for the Vanishing Ice exhibition, Bay Area new music organization Other Minds and the Brower Center present composer, performer, and instrument-builder Cheryl Leonard, who will create an evening concert using Arctic and Antarctic field recordings and natural-object instruments including penguin bones, dried seaweed, ice, and seashells. Leonard, with Phillip Greenlief, will perform works about polar environments and climate change including Meltwater, a delicate and innovative composition produced with icicles. Q&A with the artist will follow the performance, hosted by Charles Amirkhanian.

Doors to the gallery open half an hour before all events. All seating is general admission, and we recommend early arrival to ensure seat selection.
