About the event

Among the Trees: Sonic Ecology in the Anthropocene
SMO flutist Sarah Pyle curates an evening of environmental music in which the audience and musicians collectively explore how we are shaped by and shape the natural world. Meadows (2025), a growable graphic score led by Flicker Duo (Sarah Pyle, flute & Janna Webbon, violin), encourages at-home ecosystem restoration, while Caroline Miller’s territories::refrains invites human participation in recreating ephemeral signals from the animal world. Miller’s world-premiere commission for SMO explores our rapidly-changing environment due to urban tree canopy loss and the resulting man-made effects of urban heat islands. Hilda Paredes’ Chaczidzib for solo piccolo probes themes of displacement and colonialism as sung by the Mayan red-chested bird. To close, George Crumb’s Vox Balaenae hearkens back to a time of nature without humans and celebrates our region’s Orca Recovery Day. An event for dreamers and doers alike, we invite you to come, listen, and “stay awhile.”
